Ophthalmology

Currently, one of the best treatments for Keratoconus is through the use of Intacs to help strengthen and support the cornea.
While this is not a cure for Keratoconus it has helped many patients with Keratoconus to see more clearly and perhaps avoid the worst of this often debilitating condition.
Patients with Keratoconus will often be advised that Intacs can provide a level of relief and perhaps slow the effects of Keratoconus.  Some studies have shown that contact lenses might hasten the onset of Keratoconus so many surgeons are suggesting that Keratoconus patients using contact lenses should undergo Intacs treatment before vision is substantially affected.
