Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the normally round cornea becomes thin and gradually bulges into a cone-like shape. This irregular shape distorts vision, causing symptoms such as blurred or distorted sight, light sensitivity, and frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions. The exact cause is not fully understood, but factors like genetics, chronic eye rubbing, and certain medical conditions may contribute. At Dr. Maha Eye Clinic, we specialize in early detection and advanced management to preserve vision and prevent the condition from worsening.

Indications and Symptoms
Keratoconus management is essential for patients who experience:
• Blurred or distorted vision that cannot be fully corrected with glasses.
• Increased sensitivity to light and glare.
• Frequent changes in prescription lenses.
• Difficulty seeing clearly at night.
Early diagnosis is crucial, as timely intervention can slow or stop progression and protect long-term vision.

Treatment Options
Our clinic offers a range of personalized treatments based on the stage and severity of keratoconus:
• Specialty contact lenses (such as scleral or rigid gas-permeable lenses) to improve vision by creating a smooth optical surface.
• Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) to strengthen the cornea and halt progression.
• Intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) to reshape and stabilize the cornea.
• Corneal transplant in advanced cases where vision cannot be restored with other methods.
We use advanced imaging technology to monitor corneal shape over time and adjust treatment as needed.
