What is Corneal Dystrophy?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t

Corneal dystrophy is a genetic corneal disorder characterized by snowflake\u2011like protein deposits in the cornea, leading to corneal clouding. This can cause blurred or reduced vision and, in severe cases, permanent vision loss. The disease may remain asymptomatic for years, and even detailed pre\u2011treatment examinations may fail to detect the underlying risk. Research has shown that following laser vision correction procedures, such as SMILE, the corneal healing process may trigger hidden genetic issues, accelerating the onset of corneal dystrophy and resulting in irreversible vision damage. Therefore, genetic testing before refractive treatment is especially important to safeguard vision health.<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Even if traditional pre\u2011treatment examinations\u2014such as vision tests, intraocular pressure measurements, or slit\u2011lamp examinations\u2014show normal results, hidden genetic mutations may still go undetected. Below is the connection between corneal dystrophy and refractive treatment:\n

\n1\ufe0f\u20e3 Difficult to Detect Before Refractive Treatment
\nIn the early stages, corneal dystrophy may present no symptoms at all, and traditional examinations often fail to detect the potential genetic risks.\n

\n2\ufe0f\u20e3 Risk of Accelerated Onset After Refractive Treatment
\nAfter laser vision correction, the corneal healing process may trigger underlying genetic issues, leading to corneal clouding, vision loss, and other permanent complications that can greatly impact a patient\u2019s daily life.\n

\n3\ufe0f\u20e3 No Family History \u2260 No Risk
\nCorneal dystrophy does not occur only in people with a family history. Even if no related cases exist in your family, you may still carry underlying genetic mutations.<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

To enhance the safety of refractive treatment, we have introduced a new genetic testing technology. This test can identify five common mutations in the TGFBI gene, helping you better understand the health of your eyes before undergoing treatment and avoid potential vision risks.<\/p>
