Keratoconus and Orthokeratology
At Gupta Eye Care Clinic, we understand that eye conditions like keratoconus can be challenging to manage. That’s why we offer specialized care and innovative solutions to improve your vision and enhance your quality of life. Our commitment to your eye health extends to the latest advancements in keratoconus management, including the groundbreaking treatment known as Orthokeratology.
Understanding Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition in which the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, thins and bulges into a cone shape. This distortion of the cornea can result in blurry vision, increased sensitivity to light, and difficulty with night vision. Keratoconus can often be detected in the late teens or early twenties.
Orthokeratology, commonly referred to as Ortho-K, is a non-surgical treatment that can effectively manage keratoconus and other vision problems. This innovative approach involves the use of specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses that are worn overnight. These lenses gently reshape the cornea, temporarily improving vision and reducing the progression of keratoconus.
