Lattice Corneal Dystrophy

Dystrophic cornea lattice (DCR, also known as dystrophic cornea lattice) is a serious disease of the cornea that can lead to poor vision and other serious complications. This occurs due to damage to the cells of the cornea and the formation of small cells on its surface.

Causes of DCR can vary, including injury, infection, heredity, medications, and other factors. Symptoms can vary from person to person, but usually include decreased visual acuity, blurred vision, eye discomfort, and sensitivity to light.

Treatment for DCR usually includes medications to improve blood flow to the cornea, as well as surgical interventions such as laser correction or corneal transplants. In some cases, a complete cornea replacement may be required.

It is important to note that DCR is a serious condition and if you notice any changes in your vision or experience any discomfort in your eyes, you should contact your doctor immediately.

Lattice corneal dystrophy (dystrophia corneae reticulata), also known as lattice dystrophy, is one of the most common corneal diseases. It is characterized by the appearance of small holes or pits on the surface of the cornea, which leads to blurred vision and other complications.

Symptoms of lattice dystrophy may include blurred vision, double vision, dry eyes, a foreign body sensation in the eye, and red and irritated eyes. In some cases, lattice dystrophy can lead to the development of keratitis and other eye diseases.

The causes of lattice dystrophy are not fully understood, but it is assumed that it can be caused by genetic factors, infectious diseases, eye injuries, and certain medications.

To diagnose lattice dystrophy, an ophthalmological examination is used, which includes examination of the fundus, assessment of the condition of the cornea and its surface. Treatment of lattice dystrophy includes the use of special medications that help improve the condition of the cornea and improve vision.

It is important to note that lattice dystrophy is a serious disease that can lead to irreversible effects on vision. Therefore, if you notice symptoms of lattice dystrophy, you should immediately consult an ophthalmologist for diagnosis and treatment.
