A diagnoses of Keratoconus can be devastating to anyone however many advancements in the treatment of Keratoconus have brought new hope to Keratoconus patients including CK. CK or Conductive Keratoplasty is relatively new but was FDA approved in 2004. The treatment is used to help with irregular astigmatism and uses heat from radio waves instead of a laser to reshape the cornea.

In patients with Keratoconus the cornea starts to become irregular shaped which distorts the vision of the patient progressively over the course of years until the patient’s vision becomes so distorted it is difficult to see even with contacts or glasses. With this treatment the cornea is reshaped giving clearer vision to the patient and reducing the distorted vision.

CK often takes no longer than 5 minutes per eye and has a short recovery time for the patient with minimal discomfort. Patient are advised to take a 4-5 hour nap after the procedure and upon wakening many patients have noticeably improved vision.

Below are a few Symptoms of Keratoconus:

Excessive Rubbing of the eyes with or without itchy eyes
Visual disturbances or distortion
Glares or halos
Squinting to see
Seeing Double

Keratoconus affects thousands of people everyday. Understanding your treatment options for the treatment of Keratoconus and knowing that there is hope for you is the most important part of living with this progressive disease. Getting help early can reduce the damage of Keratoconus to your vision.

Many people over the years have grown skeptical of Classic Lasik procedures that though the procedure has advanced in many ways don’t feel comfortable with the option of Lasik in any form. PRK or No Cut LASEK can benefit those with apprehension over Lasik, or have thinner corneas and are not good candidates for the Lasik procedure all together. These procedures have also benefited those who have had RK (Radial Keratotomy) or Cornea Transplant.

Individuals with Keratoconus who have had their Keratoconus stabilized by Holcomb C3R ®, but have a residual can sometimes consider this less invasive laser treatment.

Below are more benefits of PRK or No Cut LASEK:

Less Invasive than Lasik procedure

Avoids deep flap created during traditional Lasik that could weaken the eye

Procedure takes about 5-10 minutes

No cuts

The PRK or No Cut LASEK procedure takes only 5-10 minutes per eye and involves the doctor removing a small layer of the surface of the cornea to reshape it. No flap is created, meaning no cuts and allows for peace of mind for many patients. The procedure can treat patients with nearsightedness, farsightedness, mild prescription after other Keratoconus treatments, or astigmatism.

The PRK or No Cut LASEK procedure has many benefits and can help those who are to afraid to have traditional Lasik procedure or do not make a good candidate for that procedure.

In the past treatments for Keratoconus generally meant an invasive procedure that required transplant of the cornea. A new day has dawned and the treatments for Keratoconus are showing positive & incredible results without the invasive technique of a Corneal Transplants. In the past receiving a corneal transplant often meant longer recovery times, possible infections, and pain after surgery. Now we have a treatment that can slow or stop the progression of Keratoconus, and has shown reversal of damage Keratoconus has caused to the eye with little to no recovery time or pain.

This new treatment? C3-R®. Also known as Corneal Collagen Cross-linking with Riboflavin. This simple procedure takes only about 30 minutes, can be performed in the doctors office and has little to no recovery time. C3-R® has shown excellent promise in treatments for Keratoconus. In some cases this procedure has even repaired damage that has already been done to the cornea by Keratoconus.

C3-R® is performed by applying a special solution to loosen the epithelium and installing the Riboflavin drops, then a special UV light is used to activate the medication. The total procedure takes around 30 minutes and continues to strengthen the cornea over 3 to 6months.

It is performed two ways Epithelium on and Epithelium off. The Boxer Wachler Vision Institute uses the Epithelium on technique. This means a solution is used to loosen the Epithelium so the Riboflavin drops will penetrate to the cornea. Since the Epithelium is not removed there is little to no pain during recovery. The effectiveness of removing the epithelium has not been proved to improve the results. The procedure with the epithelium still intact however proves to be less painful for the patients, the cornea is strengthened and the progression of Keratoconus is halted.

Benefits of Using Epithelium On Procedure-(Trans Epithelial) C3-R® for Treatment:

Reduced Recovery time

Less Pain

Non-Invasive

Keratoconus Halted

Increased improvement of vision

While the diagnosis of Keratoconus can be unsettling for anybody you should first know the facts before thinking of going blind. Although corneal transplants are not high on our list of things to do, they were an effective way to save the sight of suffers of Keratoconus.

New Advancements in Technologies have improved results for many who face this degenerative condition each day. However before we can even look at treatment options it is important that you understand the diagnosis and what it means for you.

Diagnosing Keratoconus:

Keratoconus is a change in the shape of the cornea. Keratoconus causes the cornea to become cone shape distorting the vision of the sufferer. In its mild forms Keratoconus is treated with corrective lenses or Hard contact lens. Diagnosis of Keratoconus is determined through corneal mapping also known as a Topography mapping.

In the early stages of Keratoconus symptoms are minimal and are usually detected through regular eye exams & patient history. Generally Keratoconus starts in one eye and later moving to both. Patient family history of Keratoconus is usually detected in a new diagnosis.

Symptoms of Keratoconus:

Double vision

Squinting to see

Frequent changes in prescriptions

Irritation

Photopobia [sensitivity to light]

Ghost images

New Technology & Treatments for Keratoconus:

Past treatments for Keratoconus consisted of Hard contact lenses, and corneal transplants. Corneal transplants are invasive corrective eye surgery that had long and painful recovery periods. New technologies have had positive results in the treatment of Keratoconus without invasive surgery.

INTACS a form of treatment in Keratoconus require no maintenance, and provide little to no pain during recovery. The procedure is done in the doctors office and generally takes about 30 minutes to complete. Combined with C3-R or CK, INTACS have provided positive results in stabilizing the degeneration of sight caused by Keratoconus.

Although Keratoconus is a serious condition there is hope for sufferers today. New technologies are providing many treatment options and positive improvement in the quality of life for all those that sufferer.

For years researchers and Doctors have been looking for effective ways to treat patients with keratoconus. In the past the options were very slim with little hope for reversals or healing the corneas. Often patients had to receive corneal transplants to get relief from diseases like Keratoconus. However now they are finding new and less invasive ways to correct the progression of keratoconus.

Keratoconus is caused by free radicals which invade the eye and create a reactive species which break down and cause weakness. The weakness causes the cornea to herniate causing keratoconus. The progression is not over night but over years and the effects of keratoconus can be debilitating for the patient leading to blindness. In the beginning of the disease there are little symptoms and patients often overlook a problem. The condition often strikes one eye first later spreading to the second eye by the time a problem is detected.

Now there is a treatment called C3-R® which can strengthen the cornea in the places that are weakened and give the reverse effect of the damage done by keratoconus. The treatment is relatively easy with only 30 minutes to apply and the cornea is strengthened over the next 2-4 months. Many patients only need one application, while more severe cases may require two.

The use of C3-R® or Corneal Collagen Crosslinking with Riboflavin has been very effective in recent years and can give tremendous improvement to the patients vision. In addition to C3-R® the doctor can use Intacs, and/or CK to additionally improve the sight of the patient.

A few symptoms of Keratoconus are:

Itchy eyes

Excessive Rubbing

Visual disturbances

Visual discomfort

Glare halo

Squinting

Seeing double
