Pannus is a condition characterized by the growth of new blood vessels and fibrous tissue over the cornea, often leading to vision impairment. It can be caused by various factors, including chronic inflammation or trauma.
Treatment options for corneal pannus may include topical medications, surgical interventions such as keratoplasty, or addressing underlying conditions that contribute to the pannus formation.
Pannus can lead to significant visual impairment if not properly managed. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent complications and preserve vision.
