Corneal Edema

Corneal edema is a condition where the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, becomes swollen due to the accumulation of excess fluid. This swelling can cause blurry vision, halos around lights, and discomfort. It often arises from issues like eye injury, surgery, or underlying medical conditions, such as glaucoma. The cornea relies on a balance of fluid to maintain transparency; when this balance is disrupted, visual clarity is affected. Treatment may involve medications or procedures to reduce fluid buildup and restore normal vision.
