Cornea Care in Orange County, CA
The health of your cornea is vital for clear vision. The cornea is the clear outer layer of the eye (like a windshield). It not only protects the eye from debris but also allows light to pass through, bend onto the lens, and ultimately focus on the back of the eye (the retina).
If the cornea becomes injured, distorted, or irritated, your vision will be impacted. At Harvard Eye Associates our cornea specialists in Laguna Hills and San Clemente treat the following cornea conditions:
