Re: Keratoconus Treatment Cost in India
Keratoconus is a bilateral ocular disorder in which the cornea assumes a conical shape due to thinning of the stromal collagen tissue. It is a relatively frequent disease with an incidence of 1 in 2000 in the general population. Keratoconus can be detected clinically by slit lamp examination by an Ophthalmologist and the diagnosis can be confirmed by corneal topography. Treatment options The methods of treatment include – Use of Contact Lenses: Early Keratoconus can be managed by giving rigid Contact Lenses to the patient which correct the irregularity of the cornea and provide better quality of vision. C3R (Corneal Collagen Cross linking with Riboflavin): This is a permanent treatment and is the only way to stop the progression of Keratoconus. Cornea Transplant: This is a surgical treatment, which is reserved for advance cases of Keratoconus, where the vision can not be improved with glasses or contact lenses. Intacs: These are acrylic rings inserted in the corneal stroma to decrease corneal irregularity in cases of Keratoconus. |
