"Have
you been told by your eye doctor that your only options for
keratoconus are 'hard contacts or cornea transplant?' Eye
doctors who tell their patients this are still stuck in a
decade-old mindset and are essentially living back in the
'Dark Ages' of keratoconus treatments.
There is a new world of keratoconus procedures
and this website will bring you up-to-date on the latest life-transforming,
easy and quick procedures that have literally saved some patients
from a life of misery and depression because of their keratoconus.
I have dedicated a good part of my career to
being the voice for patients with keratoconus, like a personal
advocate, in a medical field that is typically not open to
change. You now have good reason to have hope about the future
of your eyesight and life." Dr. Brian S. Boxer Wachler, MD.
Keratoconus Patients Have Excellent Treatment Options
Charlie had seen several doctors who had no more options
for his keratoconus. Listen to Charlie tell his story
that has a very happy ending.
Keratoconus is an eye condition named after the Greek Terms "kerato,"
meaning cornea, and "conus," meaning cone. Keratoconus
causes the cornea to become cone shaped and thinner, disrupting
the visual function. Treatments include Intacs®,
C3-R® and corneal implants. This website is designed
to provide background information about keratoconus
and the various treatments to restore proper corneal shape. Keratoconus
patients may feel alone and they have no treatment options.
Keratoconus, a
condition characterized by abnormal corneal change in which the
cornea gradually becomes thinned and conical, affects approximately
one in 2000 people in the United States.
Soft contact lenses can improve vision in the early stages of keratoconus.
As the condition progresses, rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses
may be needed. Until now, if RGP contacts became difficult to wear,
a corneal transplantation was the last resort.
Intacs® is a FDA-approved procedure for patients
with keratoconus.
Intacs® can improve vision and reduce the distortion
caused by keratoconus.
Insertion of Intacs® is a minor outpatient procedure
performed within 10 minutes with little if any discomfort. This
procedure has proven effective for thousands of patients.
