Keratoconus Treatment Options
Your keratoconus treatment plan depends on the stage and progression of your condition. We offer the full range of non-surgical options.
Scleral Lens Fitting
Custom-designed scleral lenses vault over the irregular cornea, restoring clear, comfortable vision. Our keratoconus specialist has completed 2,000+ fittings.
Cross-Linking Coordination
Corneal cross-linking (CXL) stops keratoconus progression. We coordinate CXL with top surgeons and manage your vision before and after the procedure.
Keratoconus Monitoring
Advanced corneal topography tracks your keratoconus progression with micron-level precision. Early detection means earlier intervention.
Post-Surgical Vision Rehabilitation
After corneal transplant or cross-linking, specialty lenses restore functional vision. Our keratoconus specialist fits lenses over complex post-surgical corneas.
Advanced Keratoconus Diagnostics
Keratoconus changes over time. Our diagnostic technology tracks your corneal shape visit-to-visit, detecting progression early so we can act before your vision deteriorates further.
- Corneal Topography — maps the front surface curvature
- Corneal Tomography — full anterior and posterior analysis
- Pachymetry — measures corneal thickness at every point
- Anterior Segment OCT — cross-section imaging of the cornea
