Corneal opacity refers to the loss of transparency in part or all of the cornea, the transparent front layer of the eye. The cornea functions as the eye’s first optical lens, assisting in the proper focusing of light onto the retina. Corneal opacities can occur due to degeneration, injury, or inflammation of the corneal tissues. This condition can affect vision and may lead to severe vision loss in some cases.
Direct trauma to the corneal tissue, cuts, or scratches can lead to the formation of opacities.
Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections can affect the corneal tissues and lead to the development of opacities.
A disease where the cornea becomes cone-shaped and loses its transparency.
A condition linked to genetic factors involving irregular thickening or thinning of the corneal tissue.
Dryness on the eye surface can make the cornea more susceptible to injury and opacity formation.
Inflammation of the conjunctival layer in contact with the cornea.
Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus can affect the cornea and cause the formation of opacities.
The treatment of corneal opacities depends on the underlying causes. Treatment options may include medications, contact lenses, glasses, corneal transplant, or surgical interventions. Treatment is generally based on a plan determined by an eye doctor or cornea specialist.
