Keratoconus Treatments: Corneal Transplant: Also known as keratoplasty, a corneal transplant is a surgical procedure to replace a part of your cornea with corneal tissue from a donor. The cornea is the front surface of the eye - transparent, round-shaped surface of your eye that accounts for a large part of your eye's focusing power. Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL): Known by several different acronyms, CXL, C3-R, CCL and KXL, Corneal cross-linking (CXL) is an in-office eye procedure that strengthens the cornea if it's been weakened by keratoconus and other corneal disease. FDA Approved KXL.. In essence Corneal cross-linking (CXL) stops the progression of Keratoconus. Keratoconus Contact Lenses: Scleral Lenses: A scleral lens is a large contact lens that rests on the sclera and creates a tear-filled vault over the cornea. Scleral lenses are designed to treat a variety of eye conditions, many of which do not respond to other forms of treatment. PVR PROSE: PVR PROSE Treatment is a process that uses a prosthetic device, similar to a scleral lens, to replace the ocular surface to provide functional vision to complex corneal conditions. Utilizing our knowledge, experience, and technology like the Vistante- Optical Coherence Tomography OCT, we are able to digitally customize a prosthetic PVR PROSE device. With the precise measurements, down to the micron, it provides an exact fit, proper movement, comfort, and perfect vision. EyePrintPRO: EyePrintPRO is a custom molded prosthetic scleral shell which improves vision by creating a new, smooth, refractive surface for the eye. EyePrintPRO is often a great option for patients with advanced keratoconus and other irregular corneas/ corneal disease. Hybrid Contacts Lenses: Hybrid Contacts Lenses are large-diameter contact lenses that have a rigid gas permeable (RGP) central zone, surrounded by soft or silicone hydrogel material. Hybrid lenses provide the visual clarity of RGP lenses, combined with wearing comfort that is comparable to soft lenses. Hybrid lenses are often a first step in the treatment of keratoconus.
