Can Keratoconus Be Cured? Vision Correction Beyond Contact Lenses & Transplants
Dr. Gulani’s Keratoconus Vision Correction: Beyond Contact Lenses & Corneal Transplants
Keratoconus is a progressive corneal disease where the cornea thins, weakens, and bulges into a cone shape, distorting vision. While specialty contact lenses like scleral and rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses can help mask irregularities, they don’t stabilize the cornea or address the root cause of the condition.
Why just recording topographic changes or crosslinking or leaving them dependent on contact lenses is not enough?
Expense, dependency, limited professional potential, and impacted lifestyle.
Dr. Arun C. Gulani, a world-renowned eye surgeon with over 30 years of experience, advocates a revolutionary approach: “Think Outside the Cone.” He continues to share patient outcomes while addressing the underlying structural damage, restoring the cornea’s shape, and optimizing vision for each patient’s lifestyle.
Dr. Gulani’s 3-Tier Approach to Keratoconus
- Visual Patients: Can still see with glasses but struggle with distortion.
- Structural Patients: Depend on uncomfortable specialty lenses to function.
- Salvage Patients: Vision remains poor even with custom lenses, and corneal health is severely compromised.
- Visual Patients: Advanced vision correction techniques like LazrPlastique® (a no-cut laser procedure) and EVO ICL (an implantable lens) help these patients regain clear, stable vision.
- Structural Patients: Dr. Gulani’s Corneoplastique® technique combines corneal reshaping with functional reconstruction. Options include Intacs (semi-circular implants) and CrossLinking (CXL) to stabilize the cornea.
- Salvage Patients: In severe cases, Dr. Gulani uses his Differential Lamellar Corneal Grafts, selectively replacing only damaged layers, preserving healthy tissue, and enhancing both the appearance and function of the cornea.
- Combination: Each of the above can further be combined or staged to tame keratoconus from “Impossible” to unaided vision, as seen in this video.
