Hello
It seems from the history that you are having scarring of cornea secondary to keratoconus.
The treatment for corneal scarring is by kerayoplaty.
Full thickness penetrating keratoplasty is required for leucomatous grade corneal opacity and lamellar keratoplasty is required for macular grade corneal opacity.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly depending on the grade of opacity.
Thank you
