Question 1

i have keratoconus in my both eyes. will i see better after c3r operation?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: Depending on the severity of the keratoconus, you may see a small improvement in your uncorrected vision after corneal crosslinking. However, the main purpose of the treatment is not to improve vision but to slow progression of the disease by strengthening the cornea.

Question 2

i have keratoconus in my both eyes. even after c3r operation i am still not able to see anything. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Consult: The c3r procedure is designed mostly to prevent progression of keratoconus but usually will not improve things.  If your corneas are so distorted that your vision is very difficult or not useful, you may need some surgical correction.  Consult with your corneal specialist.

Question 3

yes dr..but my brother has keratoconus & despite my eyes being normal dr said me i can have a slight risk of developing keratoconus after my laser if happend then there vl be cxl surgery..does this really happens?

Accepted Answer

Risk: Refractive surgery typically works by thinning the cornea. If the cornea is too thin, refractive surgery may thin it to levels that make it problematic.  The ranges are variable and depend on the measurements specific to your eyes.  But in general, the risk of corneal ectasia exists after any surgery that thins the cornea.  There are many solutions to this scenario that can be explored if needed.

Question 4

is it possible to have keratoconus and amblyopia all in one eye ??

Accepted Answer

Of course: Amblyopia comes from issues in one eye compared to the other in infancy and childhood and is a permanent change in the vision.  Such an eye is not immune from getting keratoconus at a later age.  So both can coexist but do not cause each other.

Question 5

hi, i have keratoconus in both the eyes done with cxl and cxl+intacs in the other eye. can i go to the gym and workout/lift weights and do yoga? will it have any affect on keratoconus or will it increase iop?

Accepted Answer

: Exercising and working out will not effect your keratoconus.

Question 6

what is keratoconus??  i have it in my eyes.

Accepted Answer

Keratoconus: Keratoconus is an eye condition affecting the cornea (the front surface) of the eye. It results in an irregular cornea causing distorted (blurred) vision. http://www.kcnz.co.nz/what-is-keratoconus.html

Question 7

can an eye infected with keratoconus burst somehow?

Accepted Answer

No: Keratoconus is a problem with the structural integrity of the cornea (the window at the front of the eye).  It is not an infection.  Keratoconus can break down if extreme and could actually erode through if it gets infected.  This is very rare however.  Since keratoconus is slow in evolution, you should by now be looked at by a corneal specialist who can help you through this.

Question 8

can you tell me how to feel about cornea transplant for keratoconus eye disorder?

Accepted Answer

Check if needed: Not sure what you mean.  The results of corneal transplant for keratoconus are excellent with very little rejection reported.  If your disease is very advanced, and visual correction is limited by glasses, usually contact lenses, then a transplant can restore the best vision.  Today, there are methods to transplant less tissue with excellent results.  Feel good about the procedure if you need it.

Question 9

a stone hit my partner's eye from a passing car  could this make that eye bulge at all like rubbing can lead to keratoconus?

Accepted Answer

Eye trauma: Yes - the eye ball can be easily bruised; it can develop water under the sclera and it can hemorrhage internally; please urge him to be checked by an eye specialist; meanwhile, apply cold packs constantly - not too much pressure

Question 10

what do you advise if i want to know would eye drops help decrees nearsighted and keratoconus?

Accepted Answer

No drops: There are no eyedrops to treat keratoconus. There are a wide variety and contact lens and surgical options for keratoconus.
