Keratoconus is a degenerative non-inflammatory disorder of the eye in which structural changes within the cornea cause it to thin and change to a more conical shape than its normal gradual curve. Keratoconus can cause substantial distortion of vision, with multiple images, streaking and sensitivity to light all often reported by the patient. In most cases, corrective lenses are effective enough to allow the patient to continue to drive.
Corneal Collagen Cross Linking
Corneal Cross linking use carefully controlled amounts of ultra-violet light, applied for a fixed amount of time to stiffen the cornea. It stops the sagging and partially reverses the sagging to improve the vision
