Band keratopathy removal is a procedure used to treat calcium deposits that form on the cornea, typically caused by chronic eye conditions such as inflammation, corneal dystrophies, or eye trauma. The procedure involves removing the calcium deposits using specialized instruments or laser treatment to restore the smooth surface of the cornea and improve vision.
Band keratopathy removal can significantly reduce symptoms such as blurred vision, pain, and irritation caused by the deposits. It is typically performed when the deposits interfere with vision or cause discomfort.
This procedure helps restore corneal clarity, improve vision, and alleviate the symptoms associated with band keratopathy.
