There is no cure for Pellucid marginal degeneration, but there are medications that can help manage the symptoms. These include topical corticosteroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and cycloplegic agents. Surgery may also be recommended in some cases.

1. Age: Pellucid marginal degeneration is more common in people over the age of 40.

2. Gender: Men are more likely to develop Pellucid marginal degeneration than women.

3. Ethnicity: People of African descent are more likely to develop Pellucid marginal degeneration than other ethnicities.

4. Genetics: People with a family history of Pellucid marginal degeneration are more likely to develop the condition.

5. Eye trauma: Trauma to the eye, such as a blunt force injury, can increase the risk of developing Pellucid marginal degeneration.

6. Eye diseases: People with certain eye diseases, such as keratoconus, are more likely to develop Pellucid marginal degeneration.

7. Contact lens wear: Prolonged contact lens wear

1. Eyeglasses: Eyeglasses can help to correct blurred vision and reduce glare.

2. Contact Lenses: Contact lenses can be used to correct blurred vision and reduce glare.

3. Intacs: Intacs are tiny plastic inserts that are surgically placed in the cornea to reshape it and improve vision.

4. Corneal Transplant: A corneal transplant may be necessary if the cornea has become too thin or scarred.

5. Laser Surgery: Laser surgery can be used to reshape the cornea and improve vision.

6. Corticosteroid Eye Drops: Corticosteroid eye drops can be used to reduce inflammation and improve vision.

The exact cause of Pellucid marginal degeneration is unknown, but it is believed to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Possible causes include:

• Genetic predisposition
• Trauma or injury to the eye
• Chronic inflammation of the eye
• Abnormalities in the shape of the cornea
• Excessive use of contact lenses
• Excessive exposure to ultraviolet light
• Diabetes
• High myopia (nearsightedness)
• Certain medications

The most common symptom of Pellucid marginal Degeneration is decreased vision in the affected eye. Other symptoms may include:

• Blurred vision

• Distorted vision

• Glare or halos around lights

• Sensitivity to light

• Difficulty reading

• Difficulty driving at night

• Double vision

• Loss of peripheral vision

• Eye Pain or discomfort

Pellucid marginal degeneration is a rare, non-inflammatory, non-progressive eye condition that affects the peripheral cornea. It is characterized by thinning of the peripheral cornea, which can cause visual disturbances such as glare, halos, and decreased vision. It is most commonly seen in young adults and is thought to be caused by an imbalance between the production and breakdown of collagen in the peripheral cornea. Treatment typically involves the use of special contact lenses or corneal transplantation.
