What is Keratoconus Treatment?
Keratoconus treatment focuses on managing a progressive eye condition in which the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) becomes thin and bulges outward into a cone shape. This distortion leads to blurred and irregular vision.
Early diagnosis and the right treatment approach can slow progression, improve vision, and prevent severe complications.
Keratoconus: Symptoms and Treatment
At ASG Eye Hospital, we offer advanced diagnostic tools and personalized keratoconus treatment plans to ensure the best possible visual outcomes.
Keratoconus Symptoms and Treatment
Common Symptoms:
- Blurred or distorted vision
- Increased sensitivity to light
- Frequent changes in eyeglass prescription
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Eye strain or headaches
Treatment Overview:
Treatment depends on the stage of the condition and may include glasses, contact lenses, or advanced surgical procedures.
Best Treatment for Keratoconus
The best treatment depends on severity:
- Glasses or Soft Contact Lenses
Effective in early stages to correct vision - Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses
Provide clearer vision by reshaping how light enters the eye - Corneal Cross Linking Treatment
A highly effective procedure that strengthens the cornea and slows or stops progression of keratoconus - Keratoconus Surgery
In advanced cases, surgical options such as:
- Corneal implants (Intacs)
- Corneal transplant
Our specialists determine the most suitable option based on your condition.
Corneal Cross Linking Treatment
Corneal cross linking (C3R) is one of the most recommended treatments:
- Uses riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops and UV light
- Strengthens corneal fibers
- Prevents further bulging of the cornea
It is a minimally invasive procedure and highly effective when performed early.
Keratoconus Surgery
Surgery may be required in advanced stages when other treatments are insufficient. Options include:
- Corneal ring implants (Intacs): Improve corneal shape
- Corneal transplant: Replace damaged corneal tissue
These procedures aim to restore vision and improve quality of life.
