Keratoconus is degenerative condition affecting the cornea – the front transparent window at the front of the eye. The condition causes a thinning to the cornea, this causes the shape of the cornea to change to a pointed, more conical shape. As a result, vision becomes blurry and patients usually notice streaks or haloes – particularly at night.
Keratoconus affects 1 in 1000 people and is more common in people of Asian decent.
Your Consultation
Your first appointment will involve a full keratoconus consultation where we will collect all the data about your eyes, you needs and your ophthalmic history. Specifically this involves evaluating your vision, corneal topography, anterior segment OCT, wavefront abderrometry, optical prescription and thorough examination of the front of your eyes.
We will discuss your current issues and the options available to you in terms of vision correction and also the options for surgery. If you decide to try contact lenses, a keratoconus fitting appointment will be scheduled. As each patient has differing levels of keratoconus severity, the amount of time to fit lenses varies. In general, 1-3 fitting appontments are required to achieve optimum fitting lenses.
