Frequently Asked Questions
What is corneal dystrophy? Can it be treated?
It is a hereditary eye disorder in which an extraneous opaque substance accumulates on the cornea obstructing front vision. Usually, the condition occurs in both the eyes simultaneously and progresses gradually. The primary reason behind corneal dystrophy is genetics; external factors like injury, eye trauma usually do not cause such condition. Early detection of corneal dystrophy can help to cure the disorder using eyedrops and ointments without surgical intervention.
