At Treasure Valley Eye Center our cornea specialty services provide state of the art diagnostic and treatment options for patients with needs for services related to conditions and diseases of the cornea.
Dr. Miller is a fellowship-trained cornea specialist with extensive training in diseases of the cornea. Corneal specialty services are frequently required for:
- Inherited corneal diseases such as Fuchs’ Corneal Dystrophy
- Keratoconus and other corneal thinning conditions causing corneal distortion
- Corneal disease and scarring treated with partial or complete corneal transplantation
- Corneal Infections and ulcers requiring urgent treatment and management
- Second opinions on undiagnosed or difficult to diagnose corneal conditions
We also frequently manage patients with herpes simplex corneal infections, contact lens related corneal problems including infection and corneal swelling, and issues and problems resulting from challenges encountered after LASIK and other laser corneal procedures. We also provide services for patients with rarer conditions like ocular cicatricial pemphigoid.
Treatments for corneal disease have seen significant advancements both in medical management including new disease modifying medications, as well as advancements in corneal transplantation including partial-thickness corneal transplantation (DSEK) with quicker visual recovery compared to standard full corneal transplantation.
Our specialized staff and doctors also provide the most advanced contact lens fitting and management of corneal diseases and visual challenges. Often patients who have been unable to be fitted with contact lenses in other locations find we are able to find a specialized contact lens solution for them. We fit many different types of soft, rigid and scleral contact lenses for patients who may benefit from them.
Whatever the corneal condition, our staff and doctors are committed to the most careful and patient-based approach to management, attuning the treatment to specific needs each individual patient may have for their vision.
If you have any corneal condition, we would be happy to see you for a consultation.
