Corneal Scars: Advanced Treatments for Clearer Vision
Corneal scars are often perceived as irreversible roadblocks to clear vision. However, with advanced treatments and cutting-edge innovations, including the groundbreaking work at Gulani Vision Institute, these obstacles can now be overcome. Dr. Arun Gulani’s bespoke laser techniques like LaZrPlastique® have empowered patients worldwide to regain crystal-clear eyesight, even in the most complex cases.
What Causes Corneal Scarring and How Does It Affect Vision?
The cornea is the eye’s clear, outermost layer that bends light to focus it onto the retina. When the cornea is damaged, scarring can occur. Injuries, Contact lens infections, chemical burns, surgical complications from Lasik, Radial Keratotomy, Cross-linking, PRK or Smile, or progressive diseases like keratoconus can all result in corneal scars.
Corneal scars distort light entering the eye, causing symptoms such as:
- Blurry or hazy vision
- Glare and halos around lights
- Double vision or ghost images
- Sensitivity to light
For many, these symptoms can be debilitating, affecting daily activities like reading, driving, and even recognizing faces. While traditional treatments for corneal scars often fell short of delivering lasting clarity, advancements led by Dr. Gulani have redefined what’s possible.
Treatment Options for Corneal Scars: From Lenses to Surgery
Traditionally, corneal scars have been treated with a spectrum of options:
- Specialty Contact Lenses: These lenses mask corneal irregularities and improve vision but do not address the underlying scar.
- Corneal Transplants: A highly invasive procedure involving donor tissue, with long recovery times and risks of rejection.
- PTK surgery: Limited to superficial scars, this option reshapes the cornea but often fails for deeper or more complex scarring and does not aim for improved vision without glasses.
Dr. Gulani has revolutionized corneal scar treatment with his innovative approach using LaZrPlastique® that blends artistry and science. Moving beyond traditional methods, he developed advanced, minimally invasive techniques tailored to each patient’s unique eye anatomy and vision goals.
Why LaZrPlastique® Is a Game-Changer for Corneal Scarring
LaZrPlastique®, Dr. Gulani’s next-generation procedure, is a laser-based technique designed to correct corneal irregularities, including corneal scars. Unlike conventional surgeries, LaZrPlastique®:
- Requires no cuts, stitches, or transplants
- Precisely targets scar tissue while preserving healthy cornea
- Customizes the reshaping process to restore natural clarity and also aim to correct associated glasses prescription including nearsightedness, farsightedness and Astigmatism.
LaZrPlastique® integrates seamlessly with other corrective procedures, enabling patients with previous failed surgeries to achieve remarkable outcomes. Whether addressing a scar from a traumatic injury or complications from a prior surgery, this technique restores vision while reducing downtime.
