COLLAGEN CROSS LINKING

A transformation in keratoconus treatment that stops it from getting worse

Collagen cross linking is an important new treatment that stops keratoconus from getting worse. Cross linking increases the strength of the collagen in keratoconic corneas by 3–4 times. It sis carried out with some of the best equipment available today.

LENS IMPLANTATION (PHAKIC IOLS)

An effective treatment after cornea shape is normalised These are lenses put over the normally present lenses. They work together with the eye’s natural lens which is not removed. In a normal cornea it is capable of correcting even the most severe short sight and astigmatism. In keratoconus it is most effective after collagen cross linking, laser or rings implantation have been done to stabilise the cornea and normalise its shape as much as possible

RGP CONTACT LENSES, ROSE-K LENSES

Contact lenses do not change the keratoconus, but cover the protrusion on the cornea so neutralising it. Normal vision is restored to all except advanced cases. Lifelong wear is necessary.

RINGS IMPLANTATION INSIDE THE CORNEA

to reduce excessive curvature in advanced keratoconus These are small pieces of plastic inserted into a channel created in the cornea to stretch it and bring it back to near its original configuration. They can’t be felt and require no maintenance. They are normally invisible except on close inspection when they look like a contact lens on the eye

CORNEAL TRANSPLANTATION

A long-established treatment for the most severe cases The centre of the patient’s own cornea is completely removed and replaced by another corneal transplant. The transplant is sutured in place of the conical cornea. This is the longest-established treatment for severe keratoconus.

LASER

Laser treatment can be used to treat keratoconus in some rare occcasions by using a cornea topographer to guide the laser, or what is called topography-guided treatment. This is an important development, but Dr Ahmad Khalil reserves it to very rare cases, where the cornea is stable, with a minimal refractive error untreatable by other means.
