Keratoconus Ireland

30/01/2022

Delighted to have access to KeraNatural corneal tissue to facilitate the CAIRS procedure for the treatment of keratoconus. Now available in Ireland.

A wonderful photo from Arthur Cummings, Medical Director of the Wellington Eye Clinic in Dublin, Ireland talking about LVG's KeraNatural sterile allograft rings and arcs.

"As we have seen in the corneal inlay space, allogenic corneal tissue behaves very differently to synthetic material. KeraNatural from Lions Vision Gift provides the Wellington Eye Clinic with corneal tissue to be used in the treatment of keratoconus. We are delighted with the early results of these treatments for our keratoconus patients. Thank you to Peadar Mac Gabhann from BioStor and Barry Jordan from Miltrone Healthcare who manage things locally in Ireland to make this a possibility for our patients."

Today there are treatments such as corneal cross-linking (CXL) and Intracorneal Rings that can stop the progression of keratoconus. Contact lenses continue to improve too and can help improve the vision significantly. But stopping eye rubbing is the very first thing to do.
