Keratoconus: What is it and how is it treated at Apex Specialized Eye Center in Oman?
Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease that causes the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, to bulge into a cone shape. This can lead to blurred vision, glare, and sensitivity to light.
There is no cure for keratoconus, but there are treatments that can help to slow the progression of the disease and improve vision. At Apex Specialized Eye Center in Oman, we offer a variety of treatment options for keratoconus, including:
- Corneal crosslinking: This is a procedure that uses ultraviolet light and riboflavin (vitamin B2) to strengthen the cornea and slow the progression of keratoconus.
- Intacs: These are small, plastic implants that are placed in the cornea to correct vision and reduce corneal distortion.
- Phakic intraocular lenses (IOLs): These are lenses that are implanted inside the eye to correct vision.
- Keratoconus corneal transplant: This is a surgery that replaces the diseased cornea with a healthy cornea from a donor.
