Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the normally round cornea thins and begins to bulge into a cone-like shape, causing distorted and blurry vision. This irregular curvature affects the cornea's ability to focus light properly, leading to challenges in everyday tasks such as reading, driving, or using digital devices. At VuMax Eye Hospital, we provide specialized care for keratoconus with cutting-edge diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans to manage the condition effectively and enhance your quality of life.
Managing keratoconus often begins with non-invasive options such as custom-designed contact lenses or glasses to improve vision. For more advanced cases, surgical procedures like corneal cross-linking (CXL), intracorneal ring segments (ICRS), or corneal transplants may be recommended. Corneal cross-linking, a minimally invasive procedure, strengthens the cornea by increasing collagen bonds, halting or slowing the progression of the disease. These treatments are designed to restore corneal stability, improve visual clarity, and preserve long-term eye health.
Types of Keratoconus:
Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL) : A minimally invasive procedure that strengthens the cornea by applying riboflavin (vitamin B2) drops and activating them with ultraviolet (UV) light, halting or slowing the progression of keratoconus.
Intracorneal Ring Segments (ICRS) : Tiny, arc-shaped implants inserted into the cornea to flatten its cone-like shape, improving vision and stabilizing the cornea's structure.
Corneal Transplant (Penetrating Keratoplasty or DALK) : A surgical option for advanced cases, where the damaged corneal tissue is replaced with healthy donor tissue to restore clarity and function.
