Embracing Clarity: Advanced Treatment for Keratoconus at Seema Eye Centre
Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition characterized by the thinning and bulging of the cornea, leading to visual distortion and irregular astigmatism. At Seema Eye Centre, we offer comprehensive care for keratoconus, utilizing cutting-edge treatments to preserve vision and enhance quality of life for our patients. From early diagnosis to tailored interventions, our dedicated team is committed to guiding you through every step of your keratoconus journey with compassion and expertise.
Understanding Keratoconus: Keratoconus occurs when the normally round cornea progressively thins and weakens, causing it to bulge into a cone-like shape. This structural irregularity alters the refractive properties of the cornea, resulting in distorted vision, increased sensitivity to light, and difficulty with night vision. While the exact cause of keratoconus remains unclear, genetic factors and environmental influences are believed to play a role.
Comprehensive Evaluation and Diagnosis: At Seema Eye Centre, we prioritize early detection and accurate diagnosis of keratoconus to initiate timely treatment interventions. Our comprehensive evaluation may include:
Corneal Topography: Advanced imaging techniques are used to create detailed maps of the corneal surface, enabling precise assessment of corneal curvature and irregularities characteristic of keratoconus.
Corneal Pachymetry: Measurement of corneal thickness helps assess the extent of corneal thinning, guiding treatment decisions and monitoring disease progression over time.
Visual Acuity Testing: We perform thorough visual assessments to evaluate the extent of vision impairment caused by keratoconus and determine the most appropriate corrective measures.
Tailored Treatment Approaches: At Seema Eye Centre, we offer a range of treatment options tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient with keratoconus:
Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking (CXL): This minimally invasive procedure aims to strengthen the corneal tissue and halt the progression of keratoconus by promoting the formation of new collagen bonds. CXL is effective in stabilizing the cornea and preventing further deterioration of vision.
Specialty Contact Lenses: Custom-designed contact lenses, including scleral lenses and hybrid lenses, can effectively correct vision distortion caused by keratoconus by providing a smooth refractive surface over the irregular cornea.
Intacs Inserts: Intracorneal ring segments, known as Intacs, are surgically implanted to reshape the cornea and improve its curvature, reducing visual distortion and enhancing visual clarity in select cases of keratoconus.
Corneal Transplantation: In advanced cases of keratoconus where other treatment options are insufficient, corneal transplantation may be recommended to replace the damaged cornea with a healthy donor tissue, restoring vision and improving corneal stability.
