What is the keratoconus treatment

2018-09-08 11:07:41
My wife has keratoconus, we were informed of this just yesterday. Currently, we are looking for all kinds of possible treatments. So can someone tell me what is the keratoconus treatment? We are willing to try everything, be it Ayurveda, allopathy or homeopathy. Informative responses from doctors or medical practitioners would be great.

Hello Treatment options depend on many factors A. If keratoconus is progressive or stable B. Corneal thickness and topography etc If it is stable then we can wait for any treatment Regular eye check up and pentacam test is necessary

Keratoconus usually progresses till the age of 30 yrs. And if it progresses then c3r is the treatment of choice but if it still progresses  and vision is remarkably decreased then keratoplasty is the only option.
