But a common finding states that the loss of collagen in the cornea is the reason behind keratoconus. This is due to the imbalance in the production and destruction of corneal tissue by corneal cells.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following factors may contribute to getting keratoconus.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Family history.<br><br><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A parent with keratoconus affects about 1 in 10 people with the condition. It often develops in teenagers and early adults and progresses for 10 to 20 years before stabilizing. But most of the time, it appears out of nowhere. Nevertheless, it is commonly accepted that both genetic and environmental factors are usually contributing to its development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2. Underlying disorders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keratoconus occasionally occurs when specific underlying diseases are present. These diseases include sleep apnea, asthma, Down syndrome, and a few connective tissue diseases such as brittle cornea syndrome, Marfan syndrome,&nbsp; and Leber congenital amaurosis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;3.

This includes examining the general condition of your eyes, your visual acuity, your visual field, and your eye movements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To diagnose keratoconus, your cornea&#8217;s curvature will be measured by using a variety of tests such as Pachymetry and slit lamp. But most of the time, an advanced diagnostic machine called a topographer will be used to measure the shape and thickness of your cornea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This corneal topography test will generate a colored &#8220;map&#8221; based on the curvature of your cornea. The appearance of these maps varies significantly in keratoconus, which enables the doctor to make an accurate diagnosis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what are the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">keratoconus treatment <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">options? Well, it all depends on the seriousness of your condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Early-stage treatment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the early stage of the condition, normal eyeglasses or soft contact lenses can be used to correct your vision. But as keratoconus worsens, the number of irregular astigmatisms (the curvature on your cornea) may prevent your vision from being corrected with just glasses. You need a special type of hard contact lens.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Intermediate-stage treatment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your keratoconus progresses, corneal collagen cross-linking will be performed to stiffen the cornea. This is a one-time office procedure that involves applying a vitamin B2 solution to the eye, which then will be activated by a calibrated UV light for around 30 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The thin outer layer of the cornea will need to be removed when performing this procedure to allow the riboflavin (vitamin B2) to penetrate the corneal tissue more easily. The solution induces the formation of new collagen bonds, restoring and preserving some of the cornea&#8217;s strength and shape.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though this treatment cannot restore normal vision to the cornea, it can prevent vision from becoming even worse and, in some cases, improve vision.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Advanced-stage treatment<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For some patients, the disease may progress to the point where their vision can no longer be aided with glasses or contact lenses or their cornea becomes dangerously thin. You may opt for two common surgical options.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;\">Corneal ring (Intracorneal ring segments)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the regular contact lens may become too unpleasant to wear if you have severe keratoconus, corneal ring implantation might become necessary. It is done by inserting two crescent-shaped pieces of plastic called INTACS into your cornea&#8217;s central layer which will support and fix certain corneal issues and allow you to see better. The treatment takes around 15 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;\">Corneal transplant (Keratoplasty)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This surgery involves replacing your current cornea \u2014 which is too damaged to repair anymore \u2014 with a cornea from a donor. Corneal transplants are often performed as outpatient procedures and take around an hour to complete. Post-surgery, your vision will appear blurry for three to six months and medication is compulsory to avoid transplant rejection.
