What Is Keratoconus? With Dr. Thanh [Video]

What is keratoconus?

Keratoconus is a condition where the front tissue of the eye thins, causing it to bulge into a cone-shape.

It can be treated with spectacles, soft contact lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses, or scleral lens depending on the situation.

Corneal cross-linking can be done surgically to help stabilize the cornea and can be combined with refractive treatments as well.
