Cornea & Keratoconus

Specialist corneal assessment and keratoconus care with imaging-guided monitoring and treatment planning.

Overview

Keratoconus is a condition where the cornea becomes progressively thinner and steeper, which can affect visual quality over time. Early diagnosis and structured monitoring are important to guide treatment decisions and preserve vision.

Common Symptoms

  • Blurred or distorted vision
  • Increasing astigmatism or frequent spectacle changes
  • Ghosting or multiple images
  • Glare, haloes, and reduced night vision

How We Assess

  • Specialist assessment and monitoring of keratoconus using Pentacam corneal tomography.
  • Early detection and follow-up of corneal shape changes and progression.
  • Corneal thickness and curvature analysis
  • Refraction and visual function assessment

Treatment Options

  • Specialist assessment and monitoring of keratoconus using Pentacam corneal tomography.
  • Early detection and follow-up of corneal shape changes and progression.
  • Corneal cross-linking for suitable patients with progressive keratoconus or post-LASIK ectasia to help stabilise the cornea.

What To Expect

Your consultation includes detailed corneal imaging and a clear explanation of whether the condition is stable or progressing. If progression risk is identified, we discuss suitable treatment options, including corneal cross-linking, and plan follow-up intervals tailored to your findings.
