What is a Cornea Specialist?

A cornea specialist is an ophthalmologist (eye surgeon) who is fellowship-trained and dedicated to the health and function of the cornea, ocular surface, lens and other anterior ocular structures.  

 

The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped, outermost layer of the eye.  Like the windshield of a car, it serves to protect the eye.  It also helps us see more clearly by focusing light. Many diseases can affect the cornea leading to vision loss.  As cornea specialists in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), Dr. Koreishi and Dr. Ple plakon are experienced and proficient in treating the complete range of routine and complex anterior eye diseases.
