Get Free ConsultationOverview
Keratoconus is a progressive condition where the cornea thins and develops a cone-like shape, causing distorted vision. Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL) is the primary treatment to halt progression. It uses riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops and UV light to strengthen corneal collagen bonds, preventing further bulging. In advanced cases, specialized contact lenses or corneal implants may be recommended.
