Am I a Candidate for Keratoconus Treatment?
If you have been diagnosed with keratoconus or are experiencing changes in your vision that cannot be fully corrected with glasses, you may benefit from an evaluation. Early diagnosis is especially important because some treatments can slow or stop disease progression before permanent vision loss occurs. You may be a candidate if:
- You have blurred or distorted vision that continues to worsen
- You experience increasing astigmatism or rapidly changing eyeglass prescriptions
- You notice glare, halos, ghost images, or increased sensitivity to light
- You have difficulty achieving clear vision with glasses or standard contact lenses
- You have been diagnosed with mild, moderate, or advanced keratoconus
- You have evidence of progressive corneal thinning or steepening on corneal topography
- You have a cornea with sufficient thickness for procedures like corneal cross-linking
- You have healthy ocular tissues without active eye infection or uncontrolled inflammation
At The Vision Institute, candidacy for keratoconus treatment is determined through a comprehensive evaluation that includes corneal topography, tomography, pachymetry, and a detailed assessment of your vision, corneal anatomy, and disease progression. These advanced diagnostic tools allow our ophthalmologists to recommend the most appropriate treatment for your specific condition and long-term visual goals.
