A member asked:
Do you know if there is any cure for keratoconus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keratoconus: Corneal collagen crosslinking is a procedure that effectively stops the progression of keratoconus, and can in many patients help improve the corneal shape and improve vision. Crosslinking is a one time procedure - essentially just an eye drop placed on the eye for 20-30 minutes, followed by a uv light for 5 to 30 minutes. Please discuss this option with your own doctor.
