Corneal hydrops is an uncommon complication seen in people with advanced keratoconus or other corneal ectatic disorders,[1] and is characterized by stromal edema due to leakage of aqueous humor through a tear in Descemet's membrane.[2] Although a hydrops usually causes increased scarring of the cornea, occasionally it will benefit a patient by creating a flatter cone, aiding the fitting of contact lenses.[3] Corneal transplantation is not usually indicated during corneal hydrops.
