Abstract

Corneal degeneration changes corneal shape and causing its translucency disappear. The division of corneal degeneration is made according to the type deposited in its layer. Among the factors causing keratopathy, the following can be mentioned: iron, collagen, hemosiderins, and calcium salts, the last ones cause band keratopathy. This feature is characteristic of the deposition of opacities in the superficial layers of the cornea. In the treatment of band keratopathy, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid chelation and excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy are discussed.
