Central corneal opacity can be caused by various factors including infections, trauma, inflammatory conditions, or degenerative diseases affecting the cornea.
Treatment options may include observation, medication to manage underlying conditions, or surgical procedures such as corneal transplantation if vision is significantly impaired.
The reversibility of central corneal opacity depends on the underlying cause. Some opacities may resolve with treatment, while others may require surgical intervention.
