Cornea Care & Transplantation in Charlottesville
The cornea is the clear dome at the front of the eye, and disease here directly affects vision. Our cornea program — led by Dr. William Grover, fellowship-trained at the Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute — diagnoses and treats Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy, keratoconus, corneal scarring, recurrent erosions, infections, and dry eye, including modern partial-thickness corneal transplantation when needed.
Frequently Asked
Questions about cornea care & transplantation.
Fuchs' dystrophy is a hereditary thinning of the inner corneal layer that can cause foggy morning vision and, eventually, persistent blur. Modern DSAEK and DMEK transplant techniques can restore clear vision.
