Corneal dystrophy Greenouve's nodule

Greniow nodular corneal dystrophy is a serious eye disease that can lead to complete blindness. This disease is associated with dysfunction of the lens of the eye and can occur as a result of hereditary, traumatic or inflammatory causes.

Symptoms of the disease may include blurred vision, a foreign body sensation in the eye, redness of the eye, pain when trying to look at bright lights, difficulty focusing the eyes, and even blind spots in one or both eyes. In order to determine the presence of this disease and clarify the causes of its occurrence, a consultation with an ophthalmologist is necessary.

The treatment for Grenov nodular corneal dystrophy is surgical intervention, after which the patient is prescribed individual therapy. Excess keratocytes (epithelial cells that cover the surface of the cornea) are removed by freezing with liquid nitrogen. After the procedure, the patient is prescribed appropriate anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition, regular monitoring by an ophthalmologist will help monitor the course of the disease and prevent its complications. Patients are advised to visit their doctor once a year or if any new symptoms appear. You should also avoid physical activity, overwork and stress, which can aggravate symptoms.
