Information About Cornea Services

Triangle Eye Institute can improve your eye health and ability to see things clearly in Bakersfield, CA with several procedures. Board-certified ophthalmologist Dr. Steven Yaplee can perform a corneal transplant to replace a damaged or abnormal cornea with one from a donor.

Pterygium
A pterygium (also called surfer’s eye) is a benign, triangular-shaped growth on the eye that may be caused by overexposure to UV rays, wind, or sand.
Corneal Transplant
Our ophthalmologist performs corneal transplant (keratoplasty) surgeries to replace a diseased, damaged, or scarred cornea with human donor tissue.
How can we help you?
Our Services
MIGS
MIGS (minimally invasive glaucoma surgery) is a collection of advanced surgical procedures that treat glaucoma by reducing pressure within the eye.
DURYSTA™ Injections
DURYSTA is an implanted medicine delivery system that is injected into the eye in order to reduce the intraocular pressure caused by glaucoma.
Laser Iridotomy
Laser iridotomy is a standard procedure that works through a targeted beam of light to treat and help prevent the onset of closed-angle glaucoma.
Trabeculectomy
A trabeculectomy relieves glaucoma symptoms by creating a small opening in the eye wall, which lets fluid drain and helps reduce intraocular pressure.
SLT
Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) treats glaucoma and helps prevent optic nerve damage by improving drainage and relieving pressure in the eye.
