Ghost vessels are abnormal blood vessels that can appear in the cornea, often associated with conditions such as corneal neovascularization or inflammation. They can affect vision and may require treatment.
Diagnosis is typically made through a comprehensive eye examination, which may include visual acuity tests, slit-lamp examination, and possibly imaging studies to assess the corneal structure.
Treatment options may include topical medications, laser therapy, or surgical interventions depending on the severity of the condition and its impact on vision.
