Keratoconus Treatment
Advanced solutions for corneal strengthening and vision restoration
Managing Keratoconus
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.

Treatment Steps
Corneal Mapping
High-resolution topography to map the exact shape and thickness of your cornea.
Collagen Cross-Linking
Using UV light and Riboflavin drops to strengthen the cornea and stop bulging.
Visual Rehabilitation
Fitting of specialized Scleral lenses or Rigid Gas Permeable lenses for clear vision.
ICL / Ring Segments
Surgical options like Intacs or Visian ICL to improve shape and focus.
Before Treatment
Recovery Process
Day 1-3
Mild to moderate discomfort after Cross-Linking. Contact lens bandage worn for comfort.
Week 1
Vision may be blurry as the cornea heals. Drops continued to prevent infection.
Month 1-3
Vision stabilizes. Assessment for contact lenses or glasses update can be done.
Yearly
Annual monitoring to ensure stability is maintained.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Cross-Linking improve vision?
The primary goal of CXL is to stop progression, not improve vision. However, some patients see mild improvement. Better vision comes from lenses afterwards.
Is Keratoconus hereditary?
There is a genetic component. If you have it, we recommend screening for your children starting in their teens.
Can I ever have LASIK with Keratoconus?
LASIK is generally contraindicated for Keratoconus as it thins the cornea further. PRK or ICL might be options in very specific, stable cases.
What if my cornea is too thin?
For advanced cases where CXL isn't an option, corneal transplantation (DALK or PKP) can restore clear vision.
