Microcornea

Microcornea; In a normal-sized globe, the horizontal diameter of the cornea is less than 10 mm. Anterior microphthalmus (small size of the anterior segment) should be distinguished from microphthalmus, which means the eye is small and disorganized as a whole, and the eye is small and normal as a whole. It can be unilateral or bilateral, regardless of gender. The histological appearance of corneal thickness is normal, but its refraction is significantly reduced. If there are refraction changes, they should be corrected.

Is Microcornea Treatment Only Surgery?

Microcornea treatment is only surgical. As in every disease, the specialist physician decides on the treatment of microcornea according to the person's findings and discomfort. Corneal surgery may be performed. Corneal surgery is performed to change the integrity, transparency and optical properties of the cornea. Keratoplasty is a transplantation surgery that has a very high chance of success after the development of surgical techniques and materials and medical treatment.
