In keratoconus, the cornea gradually becomes thinner and more irregular in shape, which may increase astigmatism and reduce vision. Treatment depends on disease stage. Optical correction and methods used to stabilize progression serve different purposes. At Ahvar Clinic, the treatment plan is based on specialized corneal assessment.
What it addresses / benefits
- assessment of corneal shape
- detection of disease progression
- selection of optical correction
- cross-linking when indicated
- long-term monitoring.
Preparation
Evaluation of corneal shape and thickness is required. Contact lens use may need to be temporarily stopped before certain measurements according to the doctor’s instructions.
How the procedure is performed
Management depends on disease stage and progression. It may include glasses or contact lenses, corneal cross-linking, and other methods.
Result / recovery
The main goal in progressive keratoconus is to stabilize the cornea and preserve as much visual function as possible.

Ophthalmologist Consultation
An ophthalmologist consultation provides a comprehensive assessment of symptoms, vision, and eye health to determine the need for diagnostics, treatment, or follow-up.

Comprehensive vision diagnostics combines appropriate tests to assess visual acuity, refraction, intraocular pressure, and other relevant eye parameters.

Laser vision correction changes the optical properties of the cornea to correct refractive errors and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

A cataract is clouding of the eye’s natural lens. When vision is significantly affected, the main treatment is surgical replacement of the cloudy lens with an artificial IOL.
