Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that causes the cornea to thin and bulge into a cone shape, leading to distorted and blurry vision. This condition can significantly affect daily life if not addressed promptly. For effective keratoconus treatment in Andheri, Mumbai, consider Dr. Seema Behl at Smart Vision Eye Centre, where advanced techniques and personalized care come together to deliver the best possible outcomes for your vision.

Understanding Keratoconus

Keratoconus typically starts in adolescence and worsens over time. The cornea, which is normally round, begins to thin and protrude outward, creating a cone shape. This irregular shape distorts the way light enters the eye, leading to blurry and distorted vision. Early symptoms may include mild blurriness, increased sensitivity to light, and difficulty seeing at night. As the condition progresses, these symptoms worsen, resulting in more significant vision impairment.

Treatment Options Available

At Smart Vision Eye Centre, keratoconus treatment in Andheri, Mumbai is provided with the utmost precision and care. Dr. Seema Behl offers a variety of treatment options based on the severity of the condition and the individual needs of the patient:

1. Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL)

• This minimally invasive procedure strengthens the cornea by increasing the bonds between collagen fibers, helping to halt the progression of keratoconus and potentially avoiding the need for more invasive treatments in the future.

1. Custom Soft Contact Lenses

• For patients with mild to moderate keratoconus, custom soft contact lenses can correct vision by conforming to the cornea's irregular shape. These lenses are designed to provide comfort and clarity.

1. Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses

• RGP lenses are another option for vision correction in keratoconus patients. These lenses retain their shape on the eye, providing a smooth surface to help focus light more accurately.

1. Intacs

• Intacs are small, clear inserts surgically placed in the cornea to help flatten its shape and improve vision. This procedure is especially beneficial for patients who are not suitable candidates for corneal cross-linking.

1. Corneal Transplant

• In advanced cases of keratoconus where other treatments are ineffective, a corneal transplant may be necessary. This involves replacing the damaged cornea with healthy donor tissue.
