Can viral keratitis surgery be cured?


Restoring health, one step at a time.
First of all, let's simply understand what viral keratitis is. Viral keratitis refers to inflammation caused by infection of cornea by viral pathogens. Because there are abundant trigeminal nerve endings in the superficial layer of cornea, viral keratitis often has obvious stimulation symptoms. once there is disease, the transparency of cornea changes. Patients often complain of blurred vision. Moreover, the course of viral keratitis is relatively long and the prognosis is easy to recur. It is one of the most common blinding eye diseases in clinical practice. Can viral keratitis be cured by surgery? If there is a perforation, we can perform therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty. If the patient is a recurrent attack of keratopathy, and the disease has formed various degrees of corneal scar, keratoplasty is the only effective method to restore the patient's vision. Therefore, if viral keratitis needs surgery to be treated, it can be cured under normal circumstances, but it is necessary to prevent other conditions from appearing after surgery.
