Corneal dystrophies are rare diseases that run in families and progress slowly over many years. With corneal dystrophies, abnormal material builds up in the cornea. This can cause blurred vision or even loss of vision.

Corneal dystrophies may be treated with eye drops, ointments or special contact lenses. In severe cases, a corneal transplant may be needed.

If you have any questions about your vision, speak with your ophthalmologist. They are committed to protecting your sight.
