How to cure keratoconus?
There are various solutions for the treatment of keratoconus, and invasive non-invasive . Treatment of keratoconus depends on the evolution of the disease and ranges from glasses to contact lenses up to the corneal transplant.
1 - Eye: wavefront with special glasses (also called super-spectacles wavefront) can be compensated for the defects of the cornea
2 - Contact Lenses (LAC) : contact lenses, contrary to popular belief not serve to block the corneal bulging through
restraining effect, but we need to correct the corneal astigmatism irregular cone-induced. The rigid gas permeable lenses are the most popular, but are also used soft lenses and special lenses or mixed doubles (with soft and hard). All lenses are still tailored to the customer.
3 - Cornea : the grafting of a new cornea can be laminated or piercing. The penetrating keratoplasty is the complete removal (and full thickness) of the central part of the cornea. In the case of lamellar graft, however, the cornea is not removed in full thickness to avoid the risks of rejection.
4 - Corneal Cross-linking : using an ultraviolet laser to stop the development of keratoconus and avoid transplantation
It specialist to assess, on the basis of its experience and expectations of the patient, what is the best solution to adopt.
