Five Best Ways to Treat Keratoconus Without Surgery

If you’ve been diagnosed with keratoconus, there are effective non-surgical treatments to improve your vision and quality of life. Here are the five best options:

►Glasses
For mild keratoconus, glasses can be an easy and effective solution. However, they must be customized using advanced digital technology to ensure the best fit and optics. High-index materials and anti-reflective coatings can enhance clarity, reduce glare, and make glasses more comfortable.

►Soft Contact Lenses
For mild cases, standard soft lenses may work, but for more moderate keratoconus, specialized soft lenses like Kerasoft or NovaKone are designed to offer better vision and comfort. These lenses combine the ease of soft lenses with the optical benefits needed for keratoconus.

►Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses
RGP lenses correct the irregular shape of the cornea by creating a smooth refracting surface. Though they can feel uncomfortable initially, most patients adjust within a few weeks and enjoy excellent vision clarity.

►Hybrid Lenses
Hybrid lenses combine a hard center for crisp vision with a soft outer skirt for added comfort. They offer better optical correction than soft lenses and are more comfortable than RGP lenses, though they may occasionally cause suction issues in dry eyes.

►Scleral Contact Lenses
Scleral lenses are the most advanced and widely used option for moderate to severe keratoconus. They rest on the white part of the eye, vault over the cornea, and provide exceptional comfort and hydration. These lenses are ideal for maintaining long-lasting clear vision while avoiding direct contact with the cornea.

Each treatment option requires precise customization. Your eye doctor should use advanced technology like corneal and scleral topography and OCT imaging to ensure a perfect fit and the best results.
