Hi doctor,
I had keratoconus and started developing glaucoma. My eyes are really weak, and my right eye is at its thinnest point. I will upload reports from my doctor. I am pregnant and scared labor pressure. Will it cause any harm to my eyes? What is your opinion? I am on Euthyrox 25 for underactive thyroid.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- The condition is really bad in your right eye (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
- Use scleral lenses till hydrops is resolved and pregnancy ends.

Hi doctor,
Will I be able to go through normal delivery? Or would a C-section be preferred?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- If this is not your first delivery, then no issues with normal vaginal delivery also.
- Moreover, it is because of hormonal changes and not because of pressure changes that various procedures are not advisable during pregnancy.

Hi doctor,
This is my first pregnancy. One doctor said he would advise C-section due to the thin cornea and another said I can go for normal labor. Which one would you suggest?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- In any case, it is a better option to go for cesarean; however, there is no literature supporting it.
