Corneal degeneration surgery is a procedure performed to treat degenerative conditions of the cornea, such as keratoconus, where the cornea becomes thin and bulges outward. The surgery aims to stabilize the cornea and restore vision by using techniques like corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL), corneal transplant, or implanting intracorneal ring segments (ICRS).

In cases of keratoconus or other corneal degenerations, surgery is used to prevent further thinning or scarring of the cornea. Corneal cross-linking strengthens the corneal tissue, while transplants or ICRS may be used for more advanced cases.

Corneal degeneration surgery can help restore vision and stabilize the cornea, preventing further progression of the disease and improving the patient's quality of life.
