Corneal and Conjunctival Degenerations

Corneal and conjunctival degenerations refer to changes in the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) and conjunctiva (the thin tissue covering the eye's surface) that can affect vision and eye health. These changes can be caused by aging, sun exposure, or previous eye injuries and may lead to problems like dryness, blurry vision, or discomfort. Common forms include pterygium, which is a growth on the conjunctiva, and corneal thinning. Treatment options may include eye drops, protective measures, or surgery, depending on the severity and impact on vision. Regular eye check-ups are important for monitoring these conditions.
