About Keratoconus
All About Keratoconus and Its Treatment
Keratoconus is an eye condition that alters the shape of the cornea, causing it to thin and bulge into a cone-like shape instead of being round. This can lead to blurry vision, distorted images, light sensitivity, and increased nearsightedness or astigmatism. While the exact cause of Keratoconus is not known, it is thought to be a result of both genetic and environmental factors. It typically begins in adolescence or early adulthood and can last for several years.
Various factors can cause Keratoconus. These may include:
- Genetic predisposition: Keratoconus tends to run in families, indicating a genetic component to the condition.
- Collagen abnormalities:Abnormalities in the cornea's collagen protein can weaken it, leading to thinning and bulging.
- Eye rubbing: Frequent and forceful eye rubbing can put mechanical stress on the cornea, potentially contributing to keratoconus.
- Hormonal imbalances:Hormonal changes during puberty or pregnancy may influence the cornea's structure and stability, possibly affecting the development or progression of keratoconus.
- Environmental factors:Excessive UV light exposure or chronic eye irritation from contact lens use are believed to be environmental factors that can contribute to keratoconus. However, the specific mechanisms are not fully understood.
Keratoconus can present different symptoms, and it is vital to be aware of them. These symptoms may include:
- Blurred or distorted vision
- Frequent changes in eyeglass or contact lens prescription
- Halos and ghosting
- Eye irritation and rubbing
- Increased sensitivity to light
As glaucoma progresses, the following symptoms may occur:
- Halos around lights Blurry vision
- Gradual loss of peripheral vision
- Blind Spots in the Field of Vision
- Tunnel vision
Cataract
Treatment and Care
At Krishnanetralaya, we provide comprehensive care for cataracts, ensuring a seamless journey from diagnosis to recovery.
Diagnosis:
- Tonometry: - This test measures the pressure inside your eye, known as intraocular pressure (IOP). Elevated IOP is a standard indicator of glaucoma. Tonometry can be done using various methods, such as the air puff test, applanation tonometry, or handheld tonometry devices.
- Ophthalmoscopy: - During an ophthalmoscopy, your eye doctor will examine the optic nerve at the back of your eye. Changes in the appearance of the optic nerve, such as cupping or damage, can be indications of glaucoma.
- Visual Field Test: - This test assesses your peripheral vision. It helps detect any loss of sight caused by glaucoma. You'll be asked to focus on a central point and indicate when you see flashing lights or other visual stimuli appear in your peripheral vision.
- Gonioscopy: - This test involves using a unique lens to examine the drainage angle of your eye. It helps determine if the angle is open or closed, which is essential in classifying the type of glaucoma.
Procedure:
Advanced technology and laser procedures have improved glaucoma treatment by reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) to protect the optic nerve. Laser and Surgical options include:
YAG laser peripheral iridotomy:
laser is used to create a small hole in the iris (the coloured part at the front of the eye) to help open the drainage angle and treat or prevent angle-closure glaucoma.
Trabeculoplasty: A laser treatment to enhance fluid outflow and lower IOP.
Trabeculectomy: Creating a new drainage channel to reduce IOP.
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): Microscopic devices create new pathways for fluid drainage.
These surgeries are typically performed under local anaesthesia and have short durations.
Post-Op Care:
Adhere to post-operative instructions and attend follow-up appointments for healing monitoring. Although rare, watch for risks like infection or bleeding. Avoid strenuous activities, protect your eyes from irritants, and use prescribed eye drops to aid healing.
Regular medication, such as eye drops or oral drugs, is often necessary for maintaining desired IOP and preserving vision. Follow the medication schedule as instructed by the Glaucoma specialist.
Successful glaucoma treatment can slow disease progression, preserve vision, and enhance the quality of life. Regular eye exams are vital to monitor the condition and adjust the treatment plan.
Are You Facing Challenges with Your Vision?
Blurry Vision
Poor Night Vision
Gradual Loss of Peripheral Vision
Early or Mild Keratoconus
In the early stages, the cornea starts to thin and bulge slightly in the early stages. Vision changes may be minimal, and eyeglasses or soft contact lenses can correct the refractive errors caused by the irregular corneal shape.
Moderate Keratoconus
As Keratoconus progresses, the cornea becomes more irregularly shaped, increasing astigmatism and blurry vision. Rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses are typically prescribed to provide better visual correction by creating a smoother surface for light to enter the eye.
Advanced Keratoconus
In advanced stages, the cornea becomes significantly steep and irregular, causing severe vision distortion and high levels of astigmatism. Contact lenses, such as scleral or hybrid lenses, are often required to improve vision and provide better comfort. These lenses vault over the cornea and rest on the white part of the eye (sclera) to give a more stable fit.
Acute Hydrops
In rare cases, Keratoconus can lead to Acute Hydrops. This occurs when the thin cornea develops a sudden tear or rupture, allowing fluid to enter the cornea and cause sudden vision loss, pain, and swelling. Acute hydrops may require treatment with a unique contact lens, medication, or, in severe cases, surgery.

FAQs
What are some effective options for Keratoconus treatment without surgery?
It is worth noting that there are non-invasive treatment options available for keratoconus. Specialised contact lenses, such as rigid gas permeable or scleral lenses, have been shown to be effective in improving vision and correcting corneal irregularities. However, it’s advised to consult with your doctor before selecting any treatment.
Can Keratoconus be cured permanently?
While a permanent cure for keratoconus remains unavailable, various treatment options are available to help manage the condition and improve vision. These options include the use of specialised contact lenses, cross-linking therapy to slow down progression, and in severe cases, corneal transplantation.
What is the Keratoconus surgery success rate?
Surgical interventions for keratoconus, such as corneal cross-linking or corneal transplantation, have been found to be quite successful. The success rate may vary depending on individual factors and the specific procedure, but in general, these procedures have been shown to effectively stabilize the cornea and enhance vision in most cases.
