Salzmann's corneal dystrophy

Corneal dystrophy is a term from ophthalmology that indicates a change in the structure of the cornea of ​​the eye. With this disease, nodules and erosions are observed, which can lead to loss of vision. Corneal dystrophy can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetic abnormalities, eye trauma, infections and other diseases.

One of the most common types of corneal dystrophy is nodular dystrophy. This condition is characterized by the presence of nodules that arise in the cornea and can lead to decreased vision. Most often, nodular dystopia occurs in people aged from



One of the most unpleasant cases of visual impairment is associated with degeneration of the corneal substance of the cornea of ​​the eye. One of the methods used by ophthalmologists is contour plastic surgery of the eyeball. This term refers to various measures to restore the transparency of the cornea of ​​the eyeball after injury, disease or retinal detachment. This process is carried out as drug therapy and in combination with surgery. Contour plastic surgery is carried out to increase the permeability of the cortical tissue of the eyeball and slow down the development of dystrophic changes (lens and cornea). Vision correction after contouring is carried out within two weeks,
