Keratoconus causes the cornea to gradually thin and change shape, leading to distorted or blurred vision. Early evaluation and appropriate management can help monitor its progression and protect visual quality.

ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE
What is Keratoconus?
Keratoconus is a progressive condition in which the normally round cornea becomes thinner and gradually bulges into an irregular cone-like shape.
The cornea is the transparent front surface of the eye and plays an important role in focusing light. When its shape becomes irregular, light fails to focus sharply on the retina, resulting in distorted and blurred vision.
The condition often begins during teenage or early adult years. Corneal cross-linking may help slow or halt progression in suitable cases, while spectacles or specialised contact lenses may help improve visual clarity.
Keratoconus Carefocuses on detailed corneal assessment, preserving functional vision, and halting progression through timely management.

WARNING SIGNSWhen Should You
When Should You
Consider a Keratoconus Evaluation?
Watch Out for These
Warning Signs
- Frequent changes in spectacle power
- Increasing blurred or distorted vision
- Difficulty seeing clearly even with glasses
- Increased sensitivity to bright light or glare
- Halos around lights, especially at night
- Ghosting or multiple images around objects
- Increasing astigmatism
- Family history of keratoconus
Important: If your spectacle prescription is changing frequently or your vision remains distorted despite correction, a detailed corneal evaluation may be recommended.
TREATMENT OPTIONS
Advanced Corneal Management
Treatment depends on the severity of the condition, quality of vision and whether the keratoconus is progressing.
VISION CORRECTION
Glasses & Contact Lenses
In earlier stages, spectacles or specialised contact lenses may help improve visual clarity by correcting the refractive error caused by the irregular cornea.

PROGRESSION CONTROL
Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL)
Cross-linking is used in appropriate cases of progressive keratoconus to strengthen the corneal tissue and help reduce further progression.
Book Consultation
SELECTED CASES
Advanced Corneal Management
Intacs Inserts thin, semi-circular implants placed within the cornea to help flatten its shape and improve vision in selected cases.
Book ConsultationKEY BENEFITS
Benefits of Timely Keratoconus Care
Detect progression early and preserve clear, functional vision.
Detect Progression Early
Regular corneal evaluation can help identify changes before significant progression occurs.
Preserve Functional Vision
Appropriate correction and management can help patients maintain better usable vision.
Control Progression
In suitable progressive cases, cross-linking can help stabilise the cornea and reduce further deterioration.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Keratoconus Care FAQs
What causes keratoconus?
The exact cause is not always known. Genetic and environmental factors may contribute, and keratoconus can sometimes run in families.
Does keratoconus always get worse?
Not necessarily. Progression varies between individuals. This is why periodic corneal evaluation and comparison of measurements are important.
Can glasses correct keratoconus?
Glasses may provide adequate vision in early keratoconus. As corneal irregularity increases, specialised contact lenses may provide better visual correction for some patients.
What is corneal cross-linking?
Corneal cross-linking is a procedure designed to strengthen corneal tissue. It is primarily intended to reduce or stop further progression rather than simply remove spectacle power.
Can LASIK be performed if I have keratoconus?
Keratoconus generally makes standard corneal laser vision-correction procedures such as LASIK unsuitable. A detailed corneal assessment is necessary before considering any refractive procedure.
Can keratoconus affect both eyes?
Yes. Keratoconus commonly affects both eyes, although its severity and progression may differ between them.
Why is early diagnosis important?
Detecting keratoconus early allows the ophthalmologist to monitor progression and consider treatment before more significant corneal changes occur.
