Generally, conical cornea cannot be cured by itself, and patients should actively cooperate with doctors for treatment.
Conical cornea is a congenital developmental abnormality, which is mainly related to genetic factors, refractive surgery, etc. It often causes progressive vision loss and irregular astigmatism. Usually, conical cornea cannot be cured by itself, and patients should cooperate with doctors to take treatment measures to improve symptoms and quality of life.
For patients with early to mid-stage conical cornea, they can seek medical attention to correct their vision by wearing framed glasses or rigid corneal contact lenses. For patients whose vision cannot be corrected or whose disease progresses rapidly, corneal transplantation can be considered. For patients with conical cornea without endothelial layer abnormality, deep lamellar corneal transplantation is an option.
It is recommended that patients with conical cornea should seek prompt medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
