  1. Get comfortable Keratoconus cure from the eye practice What is Keratoconus? Keratoconus is a disease of the cornea (the curved, clear front surface of the eye) that is often visually debilitating. In Keratoconus there is progressive thinning of the cornea and as a result the cornea develops a cone-like bulge and becomes distorted. You can get comfortable Keratoconus cure from the eye practice. Signs and symptoms of Keratoconus: • Blurring and distortion of vision that may be corrected by spectacles in the early stages of the condition • Irregular astigmatism (irregular curvature of the cornea) • Short-sightedness (myopia) • Frequent changes to the spectacle prescription •Once the condition has progressed it is often difficult to satisfactorily correct the vision with glasses. Contact lenses are usually the treatment of choice. • Light sensitivity • Keratoconus usually develops in both eyes, but the condition may be significantly advanced in one eye Treatment options for Keratoconus include; • Spectacles • Soft contact lenses • Rigid gas permeable contact lenses (when fitted properly this is the most successful option) • Hybrid contact lenses (SynergeyesTM) • Mini-scleral contact lenses • Intacs with Riboflavin cross-linking • Re-prescribing glasses, soft contact lenses or rigid gas permeable contact lenses after Intacs • If corneal transplantation is finally required its success rate is greater than 95% when undertaken by an expert corneal surgeon. 40% of people having corneal transplants will require contact lenses again and the vast remaining number will require some form of spectacles.
