Your cornea is one of the most vital parts of your eye — clear, strong, and perfectly shaped to focus light and help you see the world sharply. But when the cornea is damaged by infection, injury, or disease, your vision can suffer quickly and sometimes permanently if not treated with care.

I am Dr. Lynapawngia Solo (Dr. Nunu), an ophthalmologist providing specialised Cornea Services in Aizawl, Mizoram. I believe that every person deserves the best chance to see clearly and live fully, which is why I offer modern, evidence-based cornea care for patients of all ages.

You can visit me for cornea consultations at two convenient hospitals:
✅ Aizawl Hospital: 10:30 AM – 2:00 PM
✅ LRM Hospital: 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM

My mission is to protect and restore your vision with skilled diagnosis, advanced treatment, and warm, honest care — right here in Aizawl.

The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped layer that covers the front of your eye. It works like a window and a lens at the same time — allowing light to enter and bending (refracting) it so that it focuses properly on the retina.

Unlike other parts of the eye, the cornea has no blood vessels — which helps keep it crystal clear, but also means it can’t heal certain injuries easily on its own. When your cornea is healthy, your vision is sharp. When it’s damaged or diseased, even small problems can cause pain, glare, blurriness, and loss of sight.

As an ophthalmologist in Aizawl, Mizoram, I see and treat a wide range of corneal conditions, including:

✅ Corneal Infections (Keratitis) — Caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, or parasites. Infections need urgent treatment to prevent scarring or vision loss.

✅ Corneal Ulcers — Open sores that develop from untreated infections or injuries. Ulcers can be sight-threatening if not treated quickly.

✅ Corneal Scarring — Scars can form from infections, injuries, or old ulcers, causing blurred or distorted vision.

✅ Keratoconus — A condition where the cornea gradually thins and bulges outward into a cone shape, leading to blurry or distorted vision.

✅ Pterygium — A fleshy growth that extends from the white of the eye onto the cornea, often linked to UV exposure or dust. It can blur vision if it grows too far.

✅ Corneal Dystrophies — Inherited conditions that cause cloudy deposits in the cornea.

✅ Corneal Injuries — Cuts, scratches, or foreign objects that damage the cornea.

✅ Dry Eye Disease — Severe dryness can damage the corneal surface, causing irritation, redness, and blurred vision.

If you live in Aizawl, Mizoram and have any of the following symptoms, please don’t delay. Early treatment can prevent complications and protect your eyesight:

🚩 Persistent redness, pain, or watering
🚩 Blurred or cloudy vision that doesn’t improve with blinking
🚩 Sensitivity to light
🚩 Feeling like something is stuck in your eye
🚩 Sudden change in vision
🚩 Visible white spots on your cornea
🚩 Frequent eye infections that don’t heal well

Every patient and every cornea is unique. That’s why I, Dr. Lynapawngia Solo (Dr. Nunu), provide a tailored, step-by-step approach to diagnosing and treating corneal problems in Aizawl, Mizoram.

When you visit me at Aizawl Hospital or LRM Hospital, I will:

✅ Take a detailed history to understand your symptoms and concerns
✅ Perform a thorough slit-lamp examination to check the cornea and surrounding structures
✅ Order special corneal tests (topography, pachymetry, or OCT) if needed
✅ Explain your diagnosis clearly and discuss all treatment options
✅ Design a personalised plan to protect or restore your vision

I offer a full range of medical and surgical treatments for corneal conditions:

💧 Medical Management

For infections, ulcers, or dry eye, I prescribe targeted medicines such as antibiotic, antifungal, or antiviral eye drops, anti-inflammatory drops, or tear substitutes.

---

🔬 Corneal Procedures

Small corneal foreign bodies can be safely removed in my clinic. Non-healing corneal wounds may be treated with special bandage contact lenses or minor surgical procedures.

---

🕊️ Pterygium Surgery

If you have a pterygium that’s growing over your cornea and affecting vision, I offer safe removal with grafting techniques to reduce the chance of it coming back.

---

🧬 Keratoconus Management

Early-stage keratoconus can be treated with custom contact lenses or corneal cross-linking to strengthen the cornea and halt progression.

---

👁️ Corneal Transplant (If Required)

In severe cases where the cornea is badly scarred or diseased, a corneal transplant (keratoplasty) may be the best option. I will guide you honestly on whether surgery is needed, and if so, help plan it safely.
