Effective Keratoconus Treatment in Navi Mumbai
At Laxmi Eye Institute, Internationally recognized eye hospital in Navi Mumbai, centres at Panvel, Kharghar, Kamothe and Dombivali.
Keratoconus is a condition that affects the cornea, the clear, dome-shaped tissue at the front of the eye. In keratoconus, the cornea gradually thins and bulges outward, causing vision problems and sometimes even distortion of the cornea's shape. At Laxmi Eye Hospital and Institute, we offer specialized care for patients with keratoconus, using the latest diagnostic tools and treatments to effectively manage this condition.
Our team of keratoconus specialists offers a range of treatment options to help improve vision and slow the progression of the condition. Some of these treatment options include:
Contact lenses: specially designed contact lenses can help to correct the irregular shape of the cornea and improve vision for patients with mild to moderate keratoconus.
Collagen cross-linking: this treatment involves applying riboflavin eye drops to the cornea and then exposing it to UV light to strengthen and stabilize the cornea.
Intracorneal ring segments: these are small, clear plastic rings that are surgically implanted into the cornea to help improve its shape and reduce vision problems.
Corneal transplant: in advanced cases of keratoconus, a corneal transplant may be necessary to replace the damaged cornea with a healthy donor cornea.
Our team works closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that take into account their individual needs and goals. We understand that keratoconus can have a significant impact on a patient's quality of life, and we are committed to providing compassionate care to help our patients achieve the best possible outcomes. If you are experiencing vision problems or have been diagnosed with keratoconus, contact Laxmi Eye Hospital and Institute today to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced keratoconus specialists.
