Stromal opacity in cornea
Doctor, My age is 14. I was suffered from StromaL keratitis which result in stromal opacity. Doctor prescribed me some drops for curing keratitis and he told me that the opacity will not go away probably. He also told me to use "Hylo Gel" 5 times per day. I visited him after 1 year and 2-3 months, he told me that the opacity is faint now and it may not go completely but majority of it will go away. Doctor told me that i'm having some vision problem for the opacity and this is normal. Now: 1) Is it a good sign that the opacity is faint? 2) If majority of the opacity is go away (but not completely go away), will it reduce my vision problem due to opacity? 3) Why my doctor hasn't recommended surgery in my case? Please answer, doctor.

Hi, To answer your question: 1) yes it is a good sign that opacity is faint. 2) yes , if majority of opacity becomes faint,  your vision problem due to opacity will reduce. 3) surgery is not recommended in your case as the opacities are faint and not causing any major issues as of now.
