How to treat advanced keratoconus after scleral lenses?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I would like to know the best treatment for advanced keratoconus after using scleral lenses as well. Will there be a condition, where I do not have to use lenses like ever?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
There are a number of different treatments for keratoconus based on the corneal topographical measures and your visual needs. The best to halt progression is corneal collagen cross-linking (C3R). This procedure causes the development of a lot of chemical bonds inside your cornea stabilizing it, thus preventing it from bulging out further. This procedure can only bring stabilization and will not improve your vision. For vision, we have a number of surgeries and implants, which can improve vision after corneal collagen cross-linking. In case you need more information regarding the specific treatment suitable for your eyes, please send me a scanned copy for your topography reports along with your present glass power and doctors reports. I will do my best to explain the pros and cons and guide you regarding the best course of action.
Take care.
