Your doctor will give you a detailed eye exam to confirm that you have cornea edema. Based on the results of the exam and the symptoms you have been experiencing, your doctor will determine what the best course of treatment for you will be. If your corneal edema is left untreated, your symptoms can worsen and there is a greater risk of damaging other structures within your eyes. Therefore, early diagnosis by a doctor and correct treatment of corneal edema is highly recommended.
