Corneal flattening is a disease.
Corneal flattening is an eye disease caused by congenital developmental abnormalities. This usually means that the curvature of the cornea is lower than normal, causing a decrease in the refractive index of the patient’s cornea, which can lead to a series of eye complications such as vision loss.
If the cornea is simply flat, it usually does not affect the eye. If you wear keratoplasty lenses, it is to flatten the cornea of the myopic eye, and at the same time, it can play a role in shaping the eye. However, due to the flat cornea and shallow peripheral anterior chamber, it is easy to combine with glaucoma or cataract as well as tissue defects in the posterior segment of the eye, resulting in blurred vision and abnormal intraocular tissue function.
If the patient is diagnosed with flat cornea, it is recommended to go to the local regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition.
