Keratopathy
Description
Keratopathy, often known as corneal disease or corneal damage, refers to a group of conditions where the eye’s clear front surface—the cornea—becomes harmed, frequently as a result of eyelid problems. One common form, called exposure keratopathy or exposure keratitis, develops when the eyelids cannot close properly (due to issues like lagophthalmos, eyelid retraction, or ectropion), leaving the cornea exposed and at risk of dryness, irritation, and even vision loss. Symptoms can include red eyes, a gritty or burning sensation, light sensitivity, and blurred vision. If not managed, exposure keratopathy may lead to complications like corneal ulcers and infections. Treatments range from lubricating eye drops and ointments to specialized eyelid surgeries, such as canthoplasty, which restore proper eyelid protection for the cornea. By addressing both the underlying eyelid problem and providing advanced eye care, top medical centers in South Korea offer effective solutions for patients with keratopathy and related corneal issues.
