A member asked:
Can docs please explain are corneal opacities the same as having corneal dystrophy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Overlapping: Many corneal dystrophic conditions have the development of corneal opacities which can obstruct the vision and sometimes cause other symptoms. Any change in the clear normal architecture of the cornea would be termed opacity so dystrophy is just one subset. Check with your ophthalmologist to sort this out for you.
