What Is Keratoconus?

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition characterized by the thinning and bulging of the cornea into a cone-like shape. This irregularity causes light to scatter as it enters the eye, leading to blurry vision and increased sensitivity to light. If left untreated, Keratoconus can significantly affect your ability to perform daily tasks, and may even lead to vision loss.

Understand the Causes and Symptoms of Keratoconus

While the exact cause of Keratoconus remains unknown, research indicates that genetic and environmental factors may play a role in its development. Some common symptoms include:

• Blurry vision
• Sudden change in vision
• Increased sensitivity to light
• Frequent changes in eyeglass prescription

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's crucial to consult with a qualified ophthalmologist in Nashville, Franklin, or Murfreesboro, TN, to receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Keratoconus Treatment Offered by Our Eye Surgeons

At Cornea Consultants of Nashville, our ophthalmologists use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to determine the severity of your Keratoconus and create a personalized treatment plan. Effective treatment options we offer include:

• Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL) - A minimally invasive procedure that strengthens and stabilizes the cornea using riboflavin (vitamin B2) and ultraviolet light. This treatment can help halt the progression of Keratoconus and prevent further vision deterioration.
• Customized Contact Lenses - Specially designed lenses, such as scleral or hybrid lenses, can correct the irregular corneal shape and improve vision for those with mild to moderate Keratoconus.
• Corneal Transplant - A corneal transplant may be necessary in advanced cases where other treatments are ineffective. Our skilled eye surgeon can perform either a full-thickness transplant or a partial-thickness transplant, depending on the severity of the condition.
