No, it is not a curable disease. However, it can be treated and managed with the help of a doctor.
Corneal oedema is a condition that results in swelling of the cornea. The cornea is the clear window at the front of the eye that helps to focus light onto the retina. Oedema occurs when fluid accumulates in tissues, causing them to swell. In most cases, this condition is treatable and does not cause long-term damage to the eye. However, if left untreated, it can lead to vision loss. Treatment typically involves using topical eyedrops or ointments to reduce swelling and pressure on the cornea.
