Mild to moderate keratoconus is best corrected with rigid gas permeable contact lenses, which provide a smooth surface in front of the cornea, making clear vision possible. Because the lens is rigid, the tears between the lens and the cornea form a ‘liquid lens,’ which smoothes the irregularities of the cornea and makes clear vision possible again. Soft lenses, which ‘wrap’ onto the cornea and take up its shape much more closely than rigid lenses, are less successful at correcting keratoconus. Unlike traditional contact lenses, the complex geometry built into the custom gas permeable lenses, closely mimic the cone-like shape of…

  You control your life, keratoconus does not. “We understand people react differently to the news they have Keratoconus. Lack of knowledge and support often creates fear. We recommend learning as much as you can about this condition and investigating the many options available to let you get back to your life. While we believe it’s important to accept this diagnosis, we hope to help you realize there are many resources available to help you adapt. Wondering why you can't just wear glasses or regular contact lenses? During the early stages of keratoconus, standard eyeglasses or soft contact lenses can often provide patients with…

Keratoconus is a non-inflammatory, progressive eye disorder affecting the anterior surface of the cornea. The cornea gradually thins, causing it to bulge into a cone-like irregular shape. Because the cornea is responsible for refracting most of the light that comes into the eye, any irregularity of the cornea can result in significant visual impairment, affecting the way they see the world. It is this irregular distortion of the cornea that makes vision correction with glasses less than optimal. For this reason, other means of correcting vision are often necessary. What causes Keratoconus? Keratoconus most often appears in a person’s late teenage years; although…

Intacs® corneal implants: Intacs® are an FDA and Health Canada approved option for the keratoconus patient. They are small crescents of a contact lens-like material (PMMA) that are implanted on the outer edge of the cornea by an Ophthalmologist. One of the benefits to Intacs® in keratoconus is making the eye more tolerant to contact lenses, hopefully avoiding a corneal transplant.
