The corneal curvature of patients is generally more stable after the age of 18, but it will continue to change if a conical cornea is present.
Children’s eyes are in a period of growth and development, and the shape and diameter of the eyeball may change gradually. After the age of 18, the eyeball will basically be shaped, and the shape of the cornea will be relatively fixed, and the curvature of the cornea will tend to be stable, and will not change greatly in general. However, if the patient suffers from conical cornea, the patient may have a large degree of astigmatism and the corneal curvature will also change.
Corneal curvature is an important indicator of eye examination, through the examination of this indicator, you can understand the presence of astigmatism and myopia, hyperopia and other ophthalmic diseases, but also to detect abnormal changes in the cornea, such as conical cornea.
Patients with abnormal corneal curvature are advised to seek timely medical attention to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
