What is prolate cornea?

Prolate cornea refers to a shape of the cornea that is more elongated or steeper in the vertical meridian compared to the horizontal one, resembling an ellipse. This shape contrasts with the more common oblate cornea, which is flatter in the vertical axis. Prolate corneas can be associated with certain visual conditions, such as myopia, and may affect how light is focused on the retina, potentially leading to visual distortions. Understanding this corneal shape is important in fields like refractive surgery and contact lens fitting.
