Keratoconus is a progressive condition where the cornea weakens, thins, and bulges into a cone shape, leading to distorted and fluctuating vision that glasses often can’t fully correct. It typically starts in the teens or early 20s and can gradually worsen if not managed early.
👁️ Signs to watch for:
• Blurry, distorted, or unstable vision
• Frequent prescription changes
• Glare, halos, or light sensitivity (especially at night)
• Eye strain, headaches, or difficulty with night driving
• Struggling for clarity even with new glasses
🔬 Using advanced imaging with MS-39 Diagnostics, we can detect subtle corneal changes much earlier than standard eye tests. Early diagnosis is vital - it allows for timely intervention with treatments like Corneal Cross-linking (CXL) to stabilize the condition and protect your long-term vision.
🛠️ Treatment & Management:
From specialty contact lenses (Scleral/RGP) and ICRS/CAIRS to corneal transplants for advanced stages, we provide a full range of specialist care.
At Vale Eye Surgeons, we offer:
✔️ Detailed corneal assessment and monitoring
✔️ Personalised surgical planning
✔️ Specialist management of complex anterior segment cases
🌿 Protect your eyes:
Avoid eye rubbing, keep eyes lubricated, and manage allergies to help maintain corneal health.
⚠️ If your vision never feels consistently “clear,” it may be worth looking beyond a routine sight test. We focus on understanding the cornea first - before making any treatment decisions.
