Cross-Linking
The goal of the corneal cross-linking treatment is to keep keratoconus from getting worse.
Understanding Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a non-inflammatory eye condition in which the typically round dome-shaped cornea progressively thins and weakens, causing the development of a cone-like bulge and optical irregularity of the cornea. This causes blurry vision and can result in significant visual impairment, sometimes requiring a corneal transplant.
Cross-Linking Treatment
Our practice is proud to offer patients the first and only therapeutic products for corneal cross-linking which have been FDA-approved to treat progressive keratoconus. This approval offers an effective treatment for patients who, until recently, had no therapeutic options to limit the progression of this sight-threatening disease.
