Salzmann's Nodular Degeneration SND gray white to bluish nodules on cornea; Causes, symptoms, treat

Salzmann's Nodular Degeneration (SND) is a rare, slowly progressive eye condition where gray-white to bluish nodules form on the cornea. These nodules can cause discomfort and, in severe cases, affect vision2. Causes & Risk Factors The exact cause of SND is unknown, but it has been linked to: Chronic corneal disorders like keratitis or trachoma. Ocular surface diseases, including dry eye syndrome and blepharitis. Previous eye trauma or surgery. Genetic and environmental factors. Symptoms Small white bumps on the cornea. Blurred vision if nodules grow near the center of the eye. Eye discomfort or irritation. Some cases are asymptomatic (about 15% of patients experience no symptoms). Treatment Lubricating eye drops to ease discomfort. Steroid eye drops for inflammation. Surgical removal (if vision is significantly affected) #Salzmann
