Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward a clear, personal care plan.Symptoms of Keratoconus

Treatment for Keratoconus at Vision Plus
Allergy control and stopping eye rubbing are important. Glasses or specialty lenses improve focus; corneal cross-linking may slow documented progression. Advanced cases may need ring segments or corneal transplantation.
Living with Keratoconus: Ongoing Eye Care
Managing Keratoconus at Home
Risk factors and personal history are reviewed during your examination. A family history, diabetes, high blood pressure, high spectacle power, previous injury or previous eye surgery may change the recommended follow-up. Keep a record of changes in vision, use prescribed treatment consistently and do not self-medicate with someone else’s eye drops. If glasses or contact lenses are part of your care, bring them to each review.
Follow-Up Care for Keratoconus
Follow-up compares today’s findings with your baseline. It can confirm that observation is safe, show whether treatment is working, and identify a change before it affects everyday vision. Your review interval is personalised to the condition and its stage.
When to Contact an Eye Doctor
Do not wait for the next routine visit if you develop sudden blur or sight loss, a curtain or shadow, new flashes and many floaters, severe pain, increasing redness, injury or rapidly worsening symptoms.
