keratiske

Keratisk refers to the cornea, the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. The term is derived from the Greek word "keratos," meaning horn, reflecting the cornea's hard, protective nature. Keratisk conditions are those that affect the cornea, including infections, injuries, and degenerative diseases. Common keratisk conditions include keratoconus, a progressive thinning and bulging of the cornea that can lead to vision impairment; and corneal ulcers, which are open sores on the cornea that can be caused by infections or injuries. Keratisk surgery, such as corneal transplants and refractive procedures like LASIK, aims to correct vision problems and restore corneal health. Keratisk care involves regular eye examinations, proper hygiene, and prompt treatment of any corneal issues to maintain optimal eye health.
