Keratoglobus, a rare thinning of the Cornea.
Today, a patient was referred here to my clinic, but it was not the usual case that we see. The patient was diagnosed with Keratoglobus, which is a rare eye condition characterized by an abnormally thin and globular-shaped Cornea. This kind of structure may lead to significant visual impairment and distortion in vision.
Looking forward to doing Optical intervention to further improve the vision of this patient.
