Can Zhongshan Ophthalmology Guangzhou Prevent Corneal Conus Progress?

Keratoconus is a progressive ophthalmic disease, which gradually thins the cornea and forms a cone, leading to blurred vision and blindness. Although there is no complete cure, in Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department, Guangzhou, we have adopted a series of preventive measures to slow down the progress of keratoconus. This article will elaborate on the stability of corneal diopter, the control of corneal slope, surgery and corneal shaping lens.

Stability of corneal refractive power

The main manifestation of keratoconus is the instability of corneal refractive power. Through regular corneal topography and diopter examination in Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department, Guangzhou, we can understand the changes of the condition in real time. Once the corneal refractive power changes, we will take timely intervention measures, such as adjusting the patient's glasses or corneal shaping glasses, to maintain the stability of the refractive power.

In addition, in daily life, we also recommend that patients avoid severe eye friction, such as rubbing eyes, wearing tight glasses, etc., to reduce corneal damage and refractive power changes.

Control of corneal inclination

Another characteristic of keratoconus is the increase in the slope of the cornea in the horizontal plane, which further leads to blurred vision. In Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department, Guangzhou, we used corneal topography to detect corneal inclination, and combined with fundus examination to assess the condition. Once the corneal inclination is found to be too high, we will take measures to slow down its progress.

A common method is corneal cross linking, which uses ultraviolet radiation and vitamin B2 to enhance the connectivity of corneal tissue, so as to stabilize corneal morphology and slow down the progress of keratoconus. The operation was widely used in Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department in Guangzhou, and achieved good results.

surgical operation

For patients with severe keratoconus progress, Zhongshan Ophthalmology Guangzhou provides a series of surgical treatment options. Corneal transplantation is one of the most common treatment methods, which can restore vision by removing the deformed corneal tissue of patients and then transplanting healthy corneal tissue.

We also adopted a new surgical method, namely corneal circumcision. This is a kind of protective surgery. A series of corneal rings are implanted at the edge of the cornea to change the shape of the cornea and slow down the progress of keratoconus.

Keratoscope

Corneal plastic lens is a non operative treatment method. It can change the shape of the cornea by using specially designed contact lenses to correct vision. In Zhongshan Ophthalmology (Guangzhou), we customized corneal shaping lenses suitable for patients to stabilize keratoconus and improve patients' vision.

In general, Zhongshan Ophthalmology Guangzhou can effectively prevent the progress of keratoconus by means of corneal refractive stability, corneal slope control, surgery and corneal shaping lens. Early diagnosis and intervention are essential, and patients should seek medical advice in time and follow the doctor's advice. Through the comprehensive treatment program, we can help patients reduce symptoms, promote corneal stability, and improve the quality of life of patients.
