It is also possible for conical corneas to develop after they enter the scarring phase.
It is associated with abnormal development of the corneal tissue in the patient’s eye, which will cause the patient’s cornea to deform and bulge forward in the shape of a cone, which will lead to an increase in myopia and astigmatism. When the condition of conical cornea progresses to the late stage and enters the scarring stage, the transparency of the cornea will be seriously affected, resulting in severe vision loss.
Even after the scarring stage, the condition may continue to progress, with more severe cone deformity and an increase in the size of the scar.
Patients with conical cornea should go to the ophthalmology department of a hospital in a timely manner for a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan based on their condition.
