Steep cornea.

2017-06-13 07:04:43
Do every steep cornea developes keratoconus? My eye K value is 47.7. normal K value is 44 as AIIMS doctor said. So how can I reduce this value back to normal in natural ways? How high is it? How fast it increases ? Do high cylindrical power causes this ? I have been doing yoga and eye exercises after this checkup 4 months ago. My CCT is 590.
