Corneal hydrops
Corneal hydrops is an uncommon complication seen in people with advanced keratoconus or other corneal ectatic disorders and is characterized by stromal edema due to leakage of aqueous humor through a tear in Descemet's .Although a hydrops usually causes increased scarring of the cornea, occasionally it will benefit a patient by creating a flatter cone, aiding the fitting of contact lenses.Corneal transplantation is not usually indicated during corneal hydrops. The effect is normally temporary and after a period of six to eight weeks, the cornea usually returns to its former transparency. The recovery can be aided nonsurgically by bandaging with an osmotic saline solution. Non-steroidal anti inflammatory topical may be used to reduce the pain and inflammation.
