The Cornea and External Diseases Center is dedicated to excellence in medical and surgical care over the complete spectrum of conditions involving the cornea and other structures at the front of the eye, including dystrophies, infections, corneal swelling, dry eyes, and trauma.

The Cornea Service offers comprehensive capabilities for the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the front of the eye that can cause redness, pain, and decreased vision. Treatment options include the use of medications, lasers, and outpatient surgery. In the field of corneal surgery, the doctors at Carolina Eye Associates are considered leaders in DSEK (descemet's stripping with endothelial keratoplasty) surgery. This is a new procedure that can be used for certain diseases that involves only replacing the innermost layers of the cornea rather than the whole cornea as in a corneal transplant.
