Keratoconus Symptoms and Treatment

Keratoconus is a disease of the cornea. Keratoconic corneas have too few or weaker than normal collagen bonds.

Corneal collagen cross-linking is a minimally-invasive surface treatment for keratoconus, performed using a topical anesthetic.

Until recently, a corneal transplant was the only treatment option available for advanced keratoconus.

Keratoconus causes a cone-shaped corneal bulge to develop. It's a result of the cornea thinning over time.

If you have keratoconus, you will work with a local ophthalmologist. They are trained in surgical and non-surgical treatments of eye diseases and conditions.
