Are you experiencing blurry or distorted vision? You may have keratoconus—a progressive eye condition that affects the shape of your cornea and impacts your vision. At Balaji Eye Care, we offer advanced keratoconus treatments to help you regain clear vision and confidence.
Keratoconus is a condition where the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) thins and bulges outward into a cone shape. This distorts how light enters the eye and focuses on the retina, leading to:
✅ Blurry, distorted vision
✅ Increased light sensitivity
✅ Glare and halos around lights
The exact cause is not fully understood, but factors may include:
Family history of keratoconus increases risk.
Chronic eye rubbing may contribute.
Can weaken the corneal structure.
Such as Down syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and retinitis pigmentosa
Dr. Jayadatt Patel is a leading cornea specialist in India with extensive experience in treating keratoconus.
We offer both non-surgical and advanced surgical treatments tailored to your condition.
Every patient receives a customized treatment plan based on their specific needs and lifestyle.
We use the latest diagnostic and treatment tools for precise assessment and effective treatment.
We offer a full range of treatment options based on the severity of keratoconus.
Offer excellent vision correction, especially in advanced cases.
Combine the clarity of RGP lenses with the comfort of soft lenses.
Specifically designed for keratoconus, providing better comfort and sharper vision.
Vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera (white part of the eye), offering superior comfort and stability.
Designed for keratoconus to provide better vision correction than regular glasses or soft contact lenses.
If keratoconus progresses, surgical options may be required.
Used for severe cases when other treatments are not effective.
If you experience blurry vision, increased light sensitivity, frequent changes in prescription, or difficulty seeing at night, you may have keratoconus. A comprehensive eye exam, including corneal topography, can confirm the diagnosis.
There is no permanent cure for keratoconus, but advanced treatments like corneal cross-linking, specialized contact lenses, and surgical procedures can effectively manage the condition and prevent further progression.
CXL is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia (numbing eye drops). Patients may feel mild discomfort for a few days post-procedure, but pain is usually minimal.
A corneal transplant is considered only in severe cases where other treatments like contact lenses, CXL, or Intacs are not effective in improving vision.
Regular soft lenses do not provide effective vision correction for keratoconus. Specialized contact lenses like RGP, hybrid, or scleral lenses are designed for better fit and vision improvement.
Recovery time varies based on the treatment.
✔ Contact Lenses – Immediate vision improvement
✔ Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL) – 1-2 weeks for initial healing, with vision stabilizing over months
✔ Intacs – Few days to a week
✔ Corneal Transplant – Several months for full recovery and stable vision
Yes, genetics play a role, and individuals with a family history of keratoconus are at higher risk. However, not all cases are inherited.
Without treatment, keratoconus can worsen, leading to:
✔ Severe vision loss
✔ Scarring of the cornea
✔ Increased difficulty wearing contact lenses
✔ Potential need for a corneal transplant
