Corneal hydrops, advanced keratoconus, acute corneal edema - A State of Sight #21

In keratoconus, the cornea progressively thins and protrudes into a cone shape. If this becomes severe, an inner-layer break in the cornea can occur, causing corneal hydrops. Acute hydrops results in pain, redness, decreased vision, and corneal swelling. In this episode of A State of Sight, Isaac Porter, MD explains corneal hydrops and the treatment options. http://eyeporter.com   / eyeporter   twitter @eyeporter
