Introduction

Imperial Health offers comprehensive care for keratoconus, a progressive eye condition affecting the cornea. Our team of specialists provides advanced diagnostics, personalized treatment plans, and the latest treatment options to help patients manage keratoconus and maintain clear vision. We are dedicated to providing compassionate care and preserving your sight.

Our Services

Keratoconus causes the cornea to thin and bulge outward, resulting in distorted vision. Our services encompass the full spectrum of keratoconus management:

Early Detection and Diagnosis: We utilize advanced diagnostic technologies, including corneal topography and optical coherence tomography (OCT), to detect keratoconus in its early stages and monitor its progression.

Non-Surgical Management: In the early stages, keratoconus can often be managed with glasses or specialized contact lenses, such as rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses or scleral lenses. We provide expert fitting and guidance on the use of these lenses.

Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL): CXL is a procedure that strengthens the cornea and can help slow or halt the progression of keratoconus. We offer CXL using advanced techniques.

Corneal Transplantation: In advanced cases of keratoconus, corneal transplantation may be necessary. We perform various corneal transplant procedures, including lamellar keratoplasty and penetrating keratoplasty.

    Frequently asked questions

    Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the cornea thins and bulges outward into a cone shape, leading to distorted vision.

    Symptoms include blurry or distorted vision, sensitivity to light, glare, and difficulty with night driving.

    The exact cause is not fully understood, but genetic and environmental factors, as well as frequent eye rubbing, may contribute.

    Diagnosis involves a comprehensive eye exam, corneal topography, and other imaging techniques to assess the shape and thickness of the cornea.

    Treatments include specialty contact lenses, corneal cross-linking, and in severe cases, corneal transplant surgery.

    Corneal cross-linking is a minimally invasive procedure that strengthens the cornea to prevent further thinning and bulging.

    If left untreated, keratoconus can cause significant vision impairment, but early detection and treatment can prevent severe complications.

    There is a genetic component, and individuals with a family history of keratoconus may have a higher risk.

    While there is no cure, treatments can effectively manage the condition and improve vision.
