Suggest Treatment For Dry Eyes And Warped Cornea

A month ago, I noticed my right eye started seeing ghost images, with the ghost image above the main image. My optometrist took a cornea topography and said my cornea was warped, and dry eyes. The topography showed yellow, orange, red areas, and an empty space at 1 o clock. My ophthalmologist diagnosed that I had dry eyes, and not a cornea warpage. Is the cornea topography one sure way to detect cornea warpage? Could it be affected by dry eyes?, or the ophthalmologist s diagnosis incorrect? The ophthalmologist has more training, but she did not take my cornea topography.

Hi,

Corneal topography and tomography are standard diagnostic imaging tools used for detection warped cornea. Dry eyes may produce similar symptoms, well you can go to other ophthal faculty well to to clear doubt. Thyroid profile or any other physical symptoms should be seen also. Stress is main cause [some eye exercise and stress releasing therapies are given in art of living happyness course] you may try these also are very helpful.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
