Q: I am a 42 years old man, and have been diagnosed with cornea dystrophy. My vision power keeps on increasing. Is there any treatment for my problem?
A:Treatment for corneal dystrophy depends on the type of dystrophy you have and the stage and severity of the disease. Treatment options range from eye drops and ointments to laser procedures and finally corneal transplantation in advanced cases. A cornea specialist will be able to evaluate the kind of dystrophy you have and advise you accordingly.
