Other disorders of cornea - Prevention
In order to prevent other disorders of the cornea, it is important to wear protective eyewear when engaging in activities that may pose a risk of eye injury, such as contact sports or working with tools and machinery. additionally, regular eye examinations should be conducted to detect any early signs of corneal damage or disease. avoiding exposure to environmental pollutants and irritants, such as smoke or chemical fumes, can also help protect the cornea.
