Treatment Options:

1. Hard Contact Lens.If corneal irregularity is the major component of visual loss, then this may be the initial treatment of choice.
2. DALK (Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty).If the scar is in the anterior or front portion of the cornea, then removing and transplanting the anterior cornea from a donor eye bank eye may be an option.
