Explore our FAQs to see how cornea treatments can enhance your vision and improve your quality of life in Yorkshire.
Laser vision correction is an ideal solution if you are battling far-sightedness or near-sightedness, offering a precise method to reshape the cornea for improved focus. If you have Fuchs’ Dystrophy, characterised by deterioration of the corneal endothelium, Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) presents a sophisticated option, replacing the affected endothelial cells to restore vision. Keratoconus sufferers may find hope in corneal crosslinking, a procedure aimed at strengthening the cornea’s structure to prevent further deformation. Additionally, treatments are available for dry eyes, pterygium, infections, and recurrent corneal erosions, each tailored to address the specific needs and conditions of the cornea, ensuring suitability and efficacy.
Laser vision correction employs highly precise lasers to modify the cornea’s shape, thereby improving its ability to focus light onto the retina, correcting far-sightedness, near-sightedness, and astigmatism. This treatment enhances vision and can significantly reduce, or even eliminate, the need for glasses or contact lenses.
For Fuchs’ Dystrophy, Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) involves the surgical replacement of the damaged endothelial cells. By transplanting a thin layer of donor corneal tissue, this technique restores clarity to the cornea, improving vision while minimising recovery time compared to traditional corneal transplants.
Corneal crosslinking for keratoconus strengthens the cornea’s structure using ultraviolet light and vitamin B2 (riboflavin). This process increases the collagen fibres’ cross-links within the cornea, halting the progression of keratoconus and stabilising the cornea’s shape.
Treatments for dry eyes focus on restoring or maintaining the eye’s natural moisture balance through artificial tears, medications that increase tear production, or procedures that block tear ducts to conserve tears.
Pterygium, a growth on the cornea, is treated surgically to remove the growth and prevent vision impairment.
Infections require prompt antimicrobial treatment to eliminate the infection and protect the cornea from damage.
Recurrent corneal erosions may benefit from laser therapy to encourage proper healing and prevent future episodes.
Each treatment is designed to address specific corneal conditions, offering hope and improved vision for sufferers.
Laser vision correction, while highly effective, carries risks such as dry eyes, temporary visual disturbances, and, rarely, under- or over-correction that might necessitate additional surgery. The precision of the laser ensures these complications are uncommon, but patient selection and thorough pre-operative assessment are critical to minimise risks.
Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) for Fuchs’ Dystrophy introduces potential complications including graft rejection, where the body’s immune system attacks the new corneal cells, though this is less common compared to full-thickness transplants. Precise surgical technique and post-operative care, including immunosuppressive eye drops, are vital to mitigate this risk.
Corneal crosslinking for keratoconus is generally safe, but potential side effects include corneal haze, temporary visual fluctuations, and, very rarely, infection. The treatment’s benefit in halting keratoconus progression significantly outweighs these manageable risks.
Dry eye treatments are usually low-risk, though some interventions, like tear duct plugs, may lead to excessive tearing.
Pterygium surgery risks recurrence or scarring, affecting vision.
Infection treatments carry the risk of antibiotic resistance or toxicity, underscoring the importance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate therapy selection.
Recurrent corneal erosion therapy, particularly laser treatment, may cause temporary pain or vision changes, demanding skilled execution and patient compliance for optimal outcomes.
Each treatment necessitates a careful balance between benefits and potential risks, with informed consent and personalised care essential for success.
We offer a wide range of cornea surgery treatments depending on your condition.
Laser Vision Correction
Those suffering from far-sightedness or near-sightedness may benefit from our range of laser eye surgery options.
Fuchs’ Dystrophy
Patients who experience Fuchs’ Dystrophy – a condition of the corneal endothelium – may benefit from DMEK. This procedure involves a like-for-like replacement of the damaged cells.
Keratoconus
Those with keratoconus may undergo crosslinking – a simple procedure to normalise the shape of the cornea to halt progression of the disease.
Conditions We Treat:
– Dry eyes
– Pterygium
– Infections
– Recurrent Corneal Erosions
Our eye specialists are committed to guiding you through your conditions, and will work hard to ensure you receive the most appropriate treatment for your corneal issues. Having a variety of options available means our specialists can assess your individual situation and provide a professional opinion on which is most suitable for you. In the end, the final decision is yours, and our highly-qualified staff will do their best to make you well-informed and comfortable.
For laser vision correction, the journey begins with a comprehensive eye examination to assess suitability, mapping the cornea’s shape and evaluating eye health. The actual procedure involves numbing the eyes with drops and either creating a thin flap in the cornea (for LASIK), or removing the corneal surface layer, then reshaping the cornea with a laser. The process typically takes minutes per eye, with most patients noticing improved vision within a day.
Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) for Fuchs’ Dystrophy starts with selecting a suitable donor cornea. The surgery involves removing the damaged endothelial layer and replacing it with a donor tissue, meticulously positioned and attached. Recovery includes wearing an eye patch and using anti-inflammatory and antibiotic eye drops to promote healing and prevent rejection.
Corneal crosslinking for keratoconus involves applying riboflavin (vitamin B2) drops to the cornea, then activating them with ultraviolet light. This strengthens the corneal fibers, preventing further bulging and distortion. The procedure is outpatient, with recovery focusing on managing discomfort and protecting the eyes from light.
Treatments for dry eyes, pterygium, infections, and recurrent corneal erosions generally start with diagnosis and tailored therapy plans. This may range from lifestyle adjustments and medications for dry eyes, surgical removal for pterygium, targeted antimicrobials for infections, to surface laser treatments for erosions. Each step is designed with patient safety and vision restoration in mind, guided by professional expertise and care.
Patients undergoing Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) for Fuchs’ Dystrophy typically notice a significant improvement in vision clarity as the newly transplanted endothelial cells begin to function, clearing the corneal haze associated with the condition. While full visual recovery can vary, many see substantial improvements within weeks to months post-surgery.
Corneal crosslinking for keratoconus effectively halts the progression of the disease in the vast majority of cases. It stabilises the cornea, preventing further deformation, with some patients noting a slight improvement in vision. The primary goal is to avoid further deterioration, and in this, it is highly successful.
For dry eyes, pterygium, infections, and recurrent corneal erosions, treatment results aim to relieve symptoms, restore vision, and prevent recurrence. Patients typically experience relief from discomfort, improved visual acuity, and a reduced risk of future complications. Successful management of these conditions significantly contributes to overall eye health and patient well-being, highlighting the importance of tailored treatment plans and follow-up care.

“Totally unexpectedly, I needed cataract surgery for both eyes, and it was advised to be conducted before my long arranged holiday, which was just 3 months away. Dr. Musa explained everything in a user-friendly manner. The recovery after each operation was quick and pain-free, and just 12 hours after the first surgery, I could see without glasses for the first time since I was 7 years old. Today, I have been discharged, and I only need glasses for threading a needle, which is quite ironic as that was the only thing I could do without glasses before!
My experience in Costa Rica was truly wonderful, and the wildlife and colors I saw through my “new eyes” were spectacular.”

After careful consideration and a recommendation from a friend who had undergone the same procedure with Dr. Musa, I decided to proceed with refractive lens exchange using trifocal lens implants.
