Depending upon the type of dystrophy you may go for a transplant

Detailed Answer:
Hey thanks for the question. Treatment of corneal dystrophy depends on the type and the extent of it . If it is severe then corneal transplant can be done which can be either partial if only a part of cornea is involved or total if whole is involved . I would advise you to work with your corneal specialist regarding the same as only some corneal dystrophies would require this and maijority can be controlled to an extent with just medications . Hope my answer helps you . Regards
