Keratoconus: Diagnosis and Treatment to Protect Your Vision.

If keratoconus concerns you, I offer my 28 years of ophthalmology experience for a precise diagnosis and a management plan tailored to your visual needs.

My team and I will attend to you with dedication.

Do any of these symptoms apply to you?

If any of these situations feel familiar, a consultation could be the right first step.

  • Blurred Vision: "My vision is distorted, and I feel like my glasses no longer help as they used to."
  • Intense Light Sensitivity: "Light bothers me a lot, even in dimly lit places, and I experience glare."
  • Frequent Prescription Changes: "My glasses prescription changes constantly, and I feel frustrated by it."
  • Double Vision: "With just one eye, I sometimes see images as if they are duplicated or overlapping."
  • Night Halos: "At night, lights have a halo around them, making it difficult for me to see well when driving."
  • Eye Irritation: "My eyes feel irritated or as if something is in them, and they often itch."

Frequently asked questions

How long does keratoconus treatment last?
The duration of treatment varies depending on the type of intervention. For example, corneal cross-linking is a procedure performed in a single session, while fitting special lenses requires several appointments to ensure a perfect fit. Follow-up is long-term.
What are the costs associated with keratoconus treatment, and do you offer payment facilities?
The cost depends on the management plan we define for your case. During the consultation, I will provide you with a detailed budget. We do not offer direct financing, but we can explore payment options and guide you on how to proceed.
Are there side effects or risks associated with keratoconus treatments?
As with any medical procedure, mild and temporary side effects may occur, such as irritation, light sensitivity, or transient blurred vision. I will always inform you in detail about the specific potential risks of each option before starting any treatment.
What should I expect during my first keratoconus consultation?
During your first appointment, I will perform a comprehensive eye examination, including corneal topography and other diagnostic tests to evaluate your condition. We will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and I will explain the possible management options.
Are there situations where I might not be able to receive keratoconus treatment?
Yes, some conditions can be contraindications for certain treatments, such as active eye infections, pregnancy, or certain systemic diseases. I will always evaluate your complete medical history to determine the safest and most suitable option for you.
What treatment alternatives are there if I don't want surgery or cross-linking?
While cross-linking aims to halt progression, other alternatives include fitting scleral or rigid gas permeable contact lenses, which can offer significant vision improvement. We can also consider intrastromal rings in specific cases.
