Corneal hydrops

Corneal hydrops is an uncommon complication in patients with advanced keratoconus or other corneal ectatic disorders. It is characterized by stromal edema due to leakage of aqueous humor through a tear in Descemet's membrane. Although a hydrops usually causes increased scarring of the cornea, sometimes it is beneficial for a patient by creating a flatter cone, aiding the fitting of contact lenses. It is a temporary condition which usually returns to its former transparency after a period of six to eight weeks. https://www.instagram.com/p/CRK7ABmBbZv/?utm_medium=copy_link
