Corneal Dystrophy
Corneal dystrophy is a group of genetic eye disorders that affect the cornea, leading to progressive vision loss. It’s characterized by:
- Abnormal corneal changes: Clouding, thinning, or scarring of the cornea.
- Gradual vision loss: Vision becomes increasingly blurred or distorted.
- Inherited: Often passed down through families.
Types include Fuchs’ dystrophy, keratoconus, and others.
Treatment may involve medication, surgery, or corneal transplant.
Regular eye exams are essential for monitoring and managing the condition.
