WELCOME TO CORNEAL CONSULTANTS OF COLORADO

Corneal diseases, treatments, and surgery available from our cornea specialists. We are here to help you!

When the cornea is damaged by injury or disease, significant vision loss can occur, and a corneal transplant may be necessary to restore vision. Full thickness corneal transplant surgery, also called Penetrating Keratoplaty (PK) or corneal graft, involves removing and replacing the damaged or diseased cornea with a donor cornea.

Corneal Consultants of Colorado has helped many people see clearly without dependence on glasses or contact lenses. It has made those with active lifestyles happy again! For contact lens wearers, the hassles associated with contacts can be a thing of the past.

Laser assisted in situ keratomileusis, or LASIK, corrects refractive errors using an automated blade and laser to permanently reshape the cornea. The reshaped cornea helps focus light directly onto the retina to produce clearer vision.

Once vision is lost to glaucoma, there is no way to restore it. Early intervention, however, can significantly delay progression of vision loss. Glaucoma is known as the silent-thief of sight. If you do not have eye exams to check the status of your eye health, glaucoma and other diseases can steal your vision. At Corneal Consultants of Colorado, we are experts at diagnosing and treating this disease and offer the finest and newest in laser, medical and surgical diagnosis and treatment.

It is estimated that over 3 million Americans have glaucoma, but only half of them know it. The good news is, if caught early, glaucoma can be effectively treated. The earlier the disease is found, the greater the chances for preventing serious vision impairment. This is one reason why scheduling regular eye exams is so important.

To ensure your eyes are kept healthy and you can maintain decent vision, you must have routine eye exams. Our doctors in our Littleton and Evergreen offices will check your vision and screen for eye diseases or disorders.

We specifically treat and test patients who suffer from Dry Eye in Littleton, CO. Dry eyes can be a result from inadequate tear production, poor tear chemistry or quality.

Chronic dry eye, sometimes called dry eye disease, is known by the scientific name keratoconjunctivitis sicca. It is a common condition that can result in localized inflammation of both the eye surface as well as the tear-producing glands. Over time, inflammation can decrease the eye's ability to produce tears that protect the surface and keep it moist and lubricated. This, in turn, can lead to damage to the eye's surface. If left untreated, severe forms of the condition can lead to more serious problems, including increased risk of infection and possibly vision impairment.

Corneal Collagen Crosslinking (CXL) is a treatment for patients with keratoconus and those who experience a keratoconus like condition after laser refractive surgery (so-called post-LASIK corneal ectasia). This procedure strengthens the bonds between collagen lamellae, which represent the main structural component of the cornea.

There are many reasons why people choose to wear contacts. Some find them more convenient than glasses; others enjoy the full field of unobstructed view, and many prefer the look of contacts to glasses. No matter the reason, contact lenses should accomplish three things: correct vision, fit properly and accommodate a patient's needs and lifestyle.
