Keratoconus is a hereditary condition where the patient’s cornea is
steeper and thinner than normal. This chronic condition can worsen
with age and usually results in poor visual acuity.

Glasses or traditional contact lenses, cannot always give patients with
keratoconus acceptable vision. Although there is no cure for keratoconus,
our doctors can properly diagnose keratoconus with a corneal mapping
instrument called a “corneal topographer.” Then, we can use “Synergeyes”
hybrid contact lenses or Rigid Gas Permeable contact
lenses to give these patients the best possible vision
and comfort they deserve.
