Corneal curvature is known to change with age.
Corneal curvature changes as the eye develops. Generally, the diameter of the eyeball is relatively small at birth, and the corneal curvature is relatively high. As the eye grows older, the eye axis gradually lengthens, and the curvature of the cornea will become slightly flatter at this time.
As the eye axis lengthens with age, the corneal curvature becomes slightly flatter. The development of the eye gradually stops around the age of 18, when the patient’s corneal curvature stabilizes and no longer changes significantly.
However, if a patient has a condition such as conical cornea, the curvature will still change in adulthood, and usually becomes higher as the patient ages.
If patients want to know the current value of corneal curvature and whether it is normal, they should go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital in a timely manner, and be diagnosed by the doctor through the corneal topography examination, etc., and be guided by the doctor in a timely manner if there is any abnormality in the curvature.
