Keratoconus Diagnosis and Management

Keratoconus diagnosis and management focus on the early detection of corneal structural changes and monitoring the progression of the condition.

Keratoconus is a chronic condition in which the cornea becomes thinner and changes shape, leading to gradual vision deterioration. Early detection is essential to effectively monitor and manage its progression.

The service includes:

• Corneal topography (mapping)
• Pachymetry (corneal thickness measurement)
• Visual acuity testing
• OCT examination
• Disease staging and ongoing monitoring

Management approaches include:

• Regular monitoring to track progression
• Corneal cross-linking to slow or stop progression
• Specialized contact lenses for vision improvement
• Consideration of additional procedures when necessary

When to consider this service:

• If you notice rapid vision deterioration
• Increasing astigmatism
• Glasses no longer provide sufficient correction
• If you already have a keratoconus diagnosis

Why management is important:

• Helps prevent further corneal deformation
• Allows timely intervention when needed
• Reduces the need for more complex procedures in the future

Keratoconus requires an individualized approach and регуляр follow-up, as progression varies from patient to patient.

Early and proper management helps preserve vision and control the condition long-term.
