corneal deposits
Corneal deposits are small, often visible accumulations of substances on the surface of the cornea, the clear front part of the eye. These deposits can be made up of various materials, including lipids, calcium, or proteins, and may appear as white or yellowish spots. They can result from conditions such as dry eye syndrome, corneal dystrophies, or prolonged contact lens wear.
While many corneal deposits are harmless and do not affect vision, some can lead to discomfort or vision problems. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and may include artificial tears, medication, or, in some cases, surgical intervention to remove the deposits.
