Keratoconus and Post-LASIK ectasia are progressive eye conditions where the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, gradually thins and develops a cone-like bulge. This irregular shape can significantly impair your vision, causing blurriness, astigmatism, and light sensitivity. As keratoconus or Post-LASIK ectasia progresses, the structural integrity of the cornea weakens, putting you at […]

Introduction Ptosis, or drooping of the upper eyelids, can significantly impact both appearance and functionality, making individuals appear tired or aged and, in severe cases, obstructing vision. While surgical interventions are commonly employed to address ptosis, recent innovations in scleral lens technology offer a non-invasive alternative. This article explores the role of scleral lenses in […]

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that causes the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, to thin and bulge into a cone-like shape. This irregular shape can significantly distort and impair your vision, making it difficult to engage in sports and physical activities – difficult, but not impossible. With the right precautions and […]

  Keratoconus is a degenerative disorder that affects the structure of the cornea, the clear front part of the eye responsible for focusing light onto the retina. In this condition, the cornea gradually thins and bulges outward, causing distorted vision, sensitivity to light, and other visual disturbances. While the exact cause of keratoconus remains unknown, […]

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that can have a significant impact on your vision and overall visual experience. As the cornea, the clear front part of your eye, thins and changes shape, it can cause distortions, blurriness, and other visual impairments. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for keratoconus is crucial for managing […]

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that causes the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, to thin and bulge into a cone-like shape. This irregular shape can significantly impair your vision, making it difficult to perform everyday tasks such as reading, driving, or even recognizing faces. Left untreated, keratoconus can continue to worsen, […]

Understanding Keratoconus: Causes, Symptoms, and Progression Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that causes the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, to thin and bulge into a cone-like shape. This irregular shape can significantly impact your vision, making it difficult to see clearly. The exact causes of keratoconus are not fully understood, but […]

Traditionally, patients with advanced keratoconus had very few options for treating corneal ectasia. In the early days, the only option they were offered was generally a full corneal transplant (penetrating keratoplasty). More recently, partial thickness corneal transplants (anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK, DALK)) came into play as a slightly less invasive procedure. Intrastromal corneal ring segments, […]

Corneal tissue addition keratoplasty (CTAK) is a novel surgical procedure that plays a crucial role in the treatment of keratoconus. This innovative technique involves adding sterilized donor corneal tissue, cut into a customized inlay to improve corneal topography and visual acuity. The cornea is the transparent, outermost layer of the eye that serves as the […]
