A member asked:
Does corneal thickness affect how well you can see?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not if normal: Corneal thickness in the undisturbed eye, has no effect on the refraction (need for glasses) or the basic vision. If the corneal thickness is disturbed by surgery, or certain illnesses, then the vision can be substantially altered.
