Pipeline corneal's disease overview

What is

What is the tip of corneal?

The light reflected from the object is refracted through the cornea and the lens that will converge on the retina of the eye that the receptor cells will convert the light signal into the neurological signals and transmit it to the brain to the brain create photos.

In normal people, transparent cornea and have a regular bent shape from the peripheral to the periphery. Pipal cornea is a corneal disease that the cornea changes to the central or central edge of the cornea being bulging and thinly pepper, no regular. Therefore, people with corneal disease will be reduced vision, and can be confused with diseases due to eye refractive diseases such as nearsightedness or astigmatism.

Pipal cornea is a very dangerous disease that can cause permanent blindness to be detected and treated promptly to avoid unfortunate consequences.

Causes of Pipeline corneal's disease

So far, the main cause of the peak corneal has not been determined. Studies have shown a number of causes such as:

Genetic factors: Many studies show that the inherited deficiency makes the poor collagen fibers unable to guarantee the stable shape of the cornea causing disease, leading to the disease The cornea is swollen, the place is thin. In addition, many cases show that the disease occurs in a family with relatives. Allergy, allergic rhinitis, asthma ... People who have eye disability that damage the cornea is also the cause of conditions for the disease to develop. Pollution, dust, excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays causes corneal damage leading to disease

In addition, endocrine is also related to the disease. Due to a certain proportion of young people who are seen among teenagers, as well as pregnant women. These are times when hormones are usually higher than before.

People at risk for Pipeline corneal's disease

Most corneal cornea is mostly seen in young people including children and adults. In many cases of peaked cornea disease, it is difficult to detect in the early stage. Most cases detected when the disease has progressed or lost vision. Many cases are confused with other eye diseases such as nearsightedness or astigmatism. The disease is not common but easy to miss, so it is necessary to be examined regularly when there are abnormalities to reduce eye vision quickly. Avoid the case of late to cause corneal scars.

Diagnostic measures for Pipeline corneal's disease

Specialists recommend that patients need to check the refractive periodic, if they see increases in a short time or rapid progression of abnormalities to check for diagnosis.

Some diagnostic factors used such as:

check the corneal shape

corneal mapping, corneal measurement of cornea >

Pipeline corneal's disease treatments

Currently, the main methods of treatment for the top corneal disease are:

Treatment with drug glass: The diagnosed patient can be treated with soft lenses like conventional refractive lenses in case of early detection. If the disease gets worse, the cornea is changed, unevenly rough, it is necessary to switch to hard contact lenses. The disassembly of the use of contact lenses needs to be clean and under the guidance of the eye specialist to avoid causing severe keratitis. Progressive cornea. In case of serious disease, the development of corneal scars, the only option is the corneal transplantation for vision conservation. Regularly to monitor and detect early to avoid the case of developing to severe stage. The use of glass needs clean, limiting eye damage to the cornea and always wary when seeing the strange expressions of the eye.
