What does it involve?
At an initial stage, keratoconus causes refractive errors that can be corrected with glasses. When irregularity increases, patients are only able to achieve good visual acuity with contact lenses.
When is it carried out?
Glasses can be used in the early stages of keratoconus. Contact lenses can also be used in the early stages, provided that the patient can tolerate wearing contact lenses and good visual acuity is achieved.
Prior examination
Comprehensive eye examination and corneal topography.
Before the surgery
Contact lenses need to be handled correctly.
Surgery
The process of adapting to contact lenses can sometimes be difficult.
Risks
Those that are usually associated with the use of contact lenses.
