Epithelial Corneal Dystrophy
Epithelial Corneal Dystrophy is a genetic eye disorder that affects the outer layer of the cornea, known as the epithelium. This condition leads to the abnormal growth of epithelial cells, which can cause the cornea to become cloudy or develop blisters. Symptoms may include blurred vision, discomfort, and sensitivity to light.
The condition is often inherited and can vary in severity. Treatment options may include the use of lubricating eye drops, bandage contact lenses, or surgical procedures to remove the affected epithelial layers. Regular monitoring by an eye care professional is essential for managing the condition effectively.
