Keratoconus Treatment

C3R / CXL collagen cross-linking, Intacs ring segments, and topography-guided treatment to halt keratoconus progression.

Understanding Keratoconus

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition in which the cornea gradually thins and bulges outward into a cone-like shape — causing distorted vision, increasing myopia and irregular astigmatism. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preserving vision.

C3R / Corneal Cross-Linking

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) drops combined with UV-A light create new bonds between corneal collagen fibres — strengthening the cornea and halting keratoconus progression in 95%+ of cases.

Intacs Corneal Ring Segments

Thin, biocompatible ring segments inserted into the cornea to flatten the cone, reduce irregular astigmatism and improve vision — often performed alongside C3R.

Warning signs of keratoconus

  • Frequently changing spectacle prescription
  • Increasing astigmatism in young adults
  • Blurred or distorted vision not fully corrected by glasses
  • Increased sensitivity to light and glare
  • Family history of keratoconus
