Advanced solutions for corneal strengthening and vision restoration
Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, distorting vision. We offer a comprehensive approach to halt progression using Cross-Linking and restore vision using specialized lenses or implantable solutions.
Schedule ScreeningHigh-resolution topography to map the exact shape and thickness of your cornea.
Using UV light and Riboflavin drops to strengthen the cornea and stop bulging.
Fitting of specialized Scleral lenses or Rigid Gas Permeable lenses for clear vision.
Surgical options like Intacs or Visian ICL to improve shape and focus.
Mild to moderate discomfort after Cross-Linking. Contact lens bandage worn for comfort.
Vision may be blurry as the cornea heals. Drops continued to prevent infection.
Vision stabilizes. Assessment for contact lenses or glasses update can be done.
Annual monitoring to ensure stability is maintained.
The primary goal of CXL is to stop progression, not improve vision. However, some patients see mild improvement. Better vision comes from lenses afterwards.
There is a genetic component. If you have it, we recommend screening for your children starting in their teens.
LASIK is generally contraindicated for Keratoconus as it thins the cornea further. PRK or ICL might be options in very specific, stable cases.
For advanced cases where CXL isn't an option, corneal transplantation (DALK or PKP) can restore clear vision.
Stop the progression of keratoconus with our advanced cross-linking treatments.
