Revolutionary Keratoconus Treatments at Gulani Vision Institute.
Keratoconus, a progressive eye condition characterized by the thinning and bulging of the cornea into a cone-like shape, can significantly impact a patient’s vision and quality of life. Historically, patients with this condition have faced limitations in their daily activities, careers, and personal aspirations due to impaired vision. However, world-renowned eye surgeon Dr. Arun C. Gulani has revolutionized the approach to treating keratoconus, enabling many patients to not only regain their vision but also lead fulfilling, unrestricted lives.
Understanding Keratoconus: Challenges Patients Face
Keratoconus often manifests during adolescence or early adulthood, and its progression can lead to symptoms such as:
- Blurry or distorted vision
- Vision just does not feel right
- Frequent changes in prescription glasses or contact lenses
- Difficulty with night vision
These challenges can affect various aspects of life, including education, employment, driving, and even simple daily tasks. The emotional toll of struggling with vision can lead to feelings of frustration, anxiety, and hopelessness. For decades, many patients believed they had to live with these limitations.
