Corneal Diseases and Surgery

Eye Physicians of Central Florida’s Lynda Z. Kleiman, M.D., David B. Auerbach, D.O. , Victor B. Thomas, M.D. and Hamza M. Pasha, M.D. are ophthalmologists who specialize in corneal diseases and surgery.  Lynda Z. Kleiman, M.D. and Hamza M. Pasha, M.D. are our fellowship-trained corneal and external diseases specialists.

Corneal care focuses on infections, injuries and disease of the cornea -- the clear, round, "window" of tissue that allows light to enter the front of the eye.  Many conditions can affect the cornea and lead to decreased or distorted vision. Sometimes the vision can be improved with glasses, contact lenses or medication. If nonsurgical treatment does not achieve the desired results, however, a corneal transplant may be necessary. Our fellowship-trained corneal specialist provides consultation, diagnosis and treatment for the full range of corneal conditions, including the latest surgical techniques.

Corneal consultations and surgery:

• Corneal cross linking
• Corneal injuries
• Corneal ulcers
• Corneal swelling (DSAEK corneal transplantation)
• Corneal transplants
• Keratoconus
• Corneal scarring
