What to do if i have corneal dystrophy. i am only 23--what is it ?

Depends: A corneal dystrophy is a genetic corneal condition where the cornea undergoes certain changes throughout your life. The problem is there are about 15-20 of them, each one is treated differently, and yet most need no treatment at all. If you can find out which dystrophy you have, then we can narrow down the treatment, if you even need one. Good luck!
