New hope for treating Keratoconus

In the past, patients with Keratoconus were told that they had little chance to heal the cornea and they had to take corneal transplants to relieve from this kind of eye diseases. However, through researchers’ and eye doctors’ hard work and researches, patients are lucky now that they can have some less invasive ways to treat Keratoconus. The following will give some introduction on Keratoconus and the new treatments that can give hope to Keratoconus patients.

First, let’s learn about how the Keratoconus is caused. This is mainly due to the free radicals which can invade the eye and create a reactive species. Then the species break down and cause weakness, which can make the cornea to herniate and lead to Keratoconus. Though at the beginning, people may not feel terrible with this eye disease, after several years, it may cause people to blindness. It is a common mistake that most of patients do not pay attention to Keratoconus at the beginning, but after the disease spreads from one eye to another, they find they are in a difficult position to deal with it.

In order to help people know more about Keratoconus, the following will list out some symptoms of this eye disease: people feel their eyes itchy, and there are some discomforts and disturbances with their eyesight; as they feel eyes uncomfortable, they rub the eyes or squint too much; with time pass by, they find they have some problems in seeing things clearly and they have to face seeing troubles.

Researches show C3-R is a very effective and less invasive way to treat Keratoconus, which is also regarded as hope for Keratoconus patients. With G3-R treatment, the weakened and damaged place in the cornea can be strengthened. Maybe you think this treatment will be very complicated, though not as complicated as cornea transplant. Actually not. It is only 30 minutes needed for this treatment, but for the following 2 to 4 month, the cornea can be strengthened. Do patients need to have more applications? No. For most patients, only one application is enough, and for patients with severe Keratoconus, they can have two applications.

Besides C3-R treatment, eye doctors now also have some other treatments to achieve a good effect. Corneal collagen crosslinking with Riboflavin have been proved to be effective to improve people’s vision. And Intacts, and/ or CK can be helpful to improve the eyesight as well.
