Keratoconus

It is a condition that affects the eye in which the cornea, which is the transparent part in the front of the eye, becomes thinner and thinner, causing it to protrude forward, resembling the shape of a cone.
This distorts the light entering the eye, causing blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and difficulty driving at night.

There are several ways to deal with such cases:
Implanting rings inside the cornea of ​​the eye
Performing a corneal stabilization procedure using ultraviolet rays
All types of corneal transplantation

Choosing the best solution to deal with such cases depends on the clinical examination, visual acuity, and corneal imaging examinations

1. The process of implanting rings: It is performed in the simplest cases, and it consists of installing rings inside the eye of a certain thickness and length according to the case. Its goal is to correct the prominence of the eye and improve the degree of curvature of the corneal surface, which leads to improving the strength of vision
2. The stabilization process, the goal of which is to strengthen the weak cornea to prevent deterioration of the eye condition
3. In advanced cases, there is no solution other than performing a corneal transplant

What is the corneal transplant process?
A corneal transplant is a surgical procedure in which the damaged cornea is replaced with a healthy cornea from a donor.
There are two types of corneal transplantation:
Performing a superficial corneal transplant, in which the superficial layer of the patient’s cornea is removed and replaced with the superficial layers of the donor’s cornea.
