Treatment & Types of Keratoconus in Uttam Nagar, Delhi

In early stages, glasses or soft contact lenses correct vision adequately, while rigid gas-permeable or scleral contact lenses are often needed as the cornea becomes more irregular. Corneal collagen cross-linking, a procedure that strengthens corneal tissue using riboflavin drops and ultraviolet light, is used to halt disease progression in active cases. In advanced disease where vision cannot be corrected adequately with lenses, corneal transplant surgery may be required to restore functional vision.
