What Causes Cornea Problems?

Eye disease and injuries can damage the cornea. Here are some common eye problems that can lead to a damaged cornea:

• Keratoconus, where the cornea is coneshaped rather than dome-shaped
• Fuchs’ dystrophy, where cells in the inner layer of the cornea are not working effectively
• Eye infections or injuries that scar the cornea
• Previous corneal surgery or other eye surgery that damaged the cornea
