Bullous Keratopathy
Introduction
Bullous keratopathy is an eye disorder that involves a blister-like swelling of the cornea (the clear layer in front of the iris and pupil). Symptoms include sensitivity to bright light, blurred vision, and intermittent feeling of a foreign object in the eye. Doctors diagnose bullous keratopathy based on the appearance of the person's cornea. Treatment can include eye drops to draw the excess fluid from the cornea, drugs to lower pressure in the eye, and corneal transplantation. Bullous keratopathy is most common among older people. It can occur by itself, may run in families, and, occasionally, occurs after eye surgery, such as Treatment .
