Corneal opacity refers to a condition where the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, becomes cloudy or opaque. This cloudiness can interfere with vision, as it prevents light from passing through the cornea effectively. Various factors can cause corneal opacity, including infections, injuries, or diseases such as keratitis or cataracts. Treatment for corneal opacity depends on its cause and severity. In some cases, medications or eye drops may help, while more severe cases might require surgical options like a corneal transplant. Early diagnosis and intervention are essential to preserve vision and prevent further complications.
