Can intraocular leukoplakia be treated?

Patient's question:

Cannot see things. At the age of six, a high fever triggered... Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment method was found, and the white spots grew to cover the eyes. What kind of assistance is desired: Hello, do you have any treatment methods? Many doctors say they don't know how to treat it.

Doctor's answer:

The white spots you mentioned are corneal leukomas, right? If it is a corneal leukoma, there are indeed no effective treatments available at the moment, and the only option is corneal transplantation!
Medical Advice: Corneal leukoma is a complication of infectious keratitis or corneal trauma. When a corneal ulcer progresses beyond the clean phase, the connective tissue within the cornea becomes fibrotic, repairing the scar, leading to ulcer scarring. If the ulcer is small and shallow, only affecting the epithelial layer, the cornea can fully recover to a translucent state. However, if the anterior elastic layer and the superficial corneal stroma are affected, dense opacity scars will remain. The opacity may initially appear dull, then gradually intensify, but it will never extend beyond the ulcer margin. Most cases lack specific treatments, resulting in lifelong disability.
