Are keratoconus treatments not hard contacts?

Current Treatments: Current treatments for keratoconus include: intacs and cross-linking. These help lift up and strengthen the cornea and there is no need for hard contact lenses.

Few : Hard contact lenses are the standard of care. A procedure called intacs ( intracorneal ring segments ) which is reversible and works well. An experimental procedure called collagen cross linking has shown promise too. I suggest going to a corneal specialist to see which one is best for you. Good luck!
