Usually, the progression of keratoconus occurs in the age of 40-45 years and then it gets stabilized. In some cases, the progression may even occur even after the age of 50. Fit is believed that progression of keratoconus usually occurs during the first 15-20 years after the onset of the disease.
Once your keratoconus has been stabilized, contact lenses can be a great option to achieve your best corrected vision.
You may discuss your issue in detail for further detailed consultation.

When the fibers are weakened, they cannot hold their shape. This causes the cornea to change from a dome to more cone-like in shape. When the Collagen continues to weaken, the Keratoconus gets worse, and there are factors that contribute to this. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.

Currently there is no cure for keratoconus. It is a lifelong eye disease. Thankfully, however, most cases of keratoconus can be successfully managed. For mild to moderate keratoconus, scleral contact lenses made of advanced rigid gas permeable lens materials typically are the treatment of choice.

Excess fluid inside the eye can lead to sight-threatening eye diseases— making early diagnosis absolutely vital. Collagen, water and protein are the primary materials that make up the eye — but sometimes, a surplus of fluid can accumulate inside the eye, increasing the risk of serious eye diseases.

Retinal holes and tears do not automatically cause severe vision problems; instead, the areas of the retina that have holes and tears will not function correctly. If the condition is not well managed or treated in due time, then significant vision loss or even blindness can occur.

No drug is proven to be successful in central serous retinopathy. It is most commonly an idiopathic disease or steroid induced condition. So trigger factor needs not be removed.

The cause of serpiginous choroiditis is unknown. Speculation exists regarding an association with exposure to various toxic compounds and/or infectious agents. Some researchers believe the condition is related to an organ -specific autoimmune inflammatory process.
