Keratoconus Treatment

Keratoconus is a condition where the cornea (the eye's front surface) becomes thin and cone-shaped, causing vision distortion. Treatment options vary based on severity. In early stages, glasses or soft contact lenses may help. As the condition progresses, specialty contact lenses or corneal cross-linking—a procedure that strengthens corneal tissue—may be recommended. In advanced cases, surgical options, such as corneal transplants, might be necessary. Regular eye exams are crucial for monitoring the condition and adjusting treatment as needed. Overall, treatment aims to improve vision and comfort for those affected.
