Good morning! Who has diagnosed you as having nebular corneal opacity? Corneal opacities are just scars on the cornea with no activity. therefore no medication is required. If at all it is too white you need to undergo corneal tattooing.
Next Steps
So please consult in person and find out what is the exact diagnosis and get treated accordingly. If you live in Bengaluru our centre is open.
Health Tips
corneal conditions cannot be taken lightly as it could be vision threatening. Please do not clean your eyes with tap water until you have the correct diagnosis.
