Corneal dystrophy is a group of inherited eye disorders that affect the cornea, the clear front part of the eye. These conditions lead to the buildup of material in the cornea, causing it to become cloudy and impairing vision. Symptoms may include blurred vision, light sensitivity, and discomfort. There are several types of corneal dystrophies, each with different characteristics and patterns of inheritance. Common types include epithelial corneal dystrophy, stromal corneal dystrophy, and endothelial corneal dystrophy. Treatment options vary depending on the type and severity, ranging from glasses or contact lenses to surgical procedures like corneal transplants.
