I have an irregular cornea
A specialist assessment can explore the cause, visual effect and whether a custom optical correction may be appropriate.
Why this may be relevant
I have been told that the front surface of my eye is irregular
- An irregular corneal surface can cause blur, ghosting, glare or unstable vision.
- Keratoconus is one possible cause, but surgery, scarring, injury and other conditions can also alter shape.
- A diagnostic rigid or specialist lens may help show how much of the visual distortion is corneal.
A sensible next step
What happens next
- 1Share any diagnosis, surgery and previous reports with the practice.
- 2The assessment may include refraction, eye-health checks and corneal measurement where relevant.
- 3Spectacle, soft, corneal RGP, scleral or referral pathways may be discussed after the findings are understood.
A specialist lens may improve optical correction but does not treat every underlying cause of corneal irregularity.
