Question 1

I have keratoconus in my eyes and really want to avoid surgery. I've attached my Oculus Pentacam report can you help me understand how severe my condition is right now? What stage is my keratoconus at and how serious is it? Also, could you explain my corneal thickness readings and what treatment options would work best for this level without needing surgery?

Accepted Answer

While keratoconus is not curable in the sense of reversing the corneal shape, it can be effectively managed and vision improved without surgery. Treatments like eyeglasses, contact lenses, and corneal cross-linking (CXL) can help control its progression and enhance vision.

Could you explain the pros and cons of each in detail?
