treatment for keratoconus and corneal ectasia

Eye Care 22 offers specialized diagnosis and treatment for Keratoconus and Corneal Ectasia in Chandigarh. Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition in which the cornea gradually becomes thin and bulges outward into a cone-like shape, causing blurred vision, glare, light sensitivity, and distorted vision. Corneal ectasia can also develop after refractive surgery or due to other corneal disorders, affecting the structural stability of the cornea. Our experienced cornea specialists use advanced diagnostic technologies, including corneal topography, tomography, pachymetry, and comprehensive eye examinations, to detect and monitor keratoconus at an early stage. Early diagnosis is essential to slow disease progression and preserve vision. At Eye Care 22, we provide personalized treatment options based on the severity of the condition. These may include specialized contact lenses, corneal collagen cross-linking (C3R/CXL), intracorneal ring segments, and advanced corneal transplant procedures when required. Our goal is to stabilize the cornea, improve vision, and prevent further progression of the disease. With advanced technology, expert cornea care, and patient-focused treatment plans, Eye Care 22 is a trusted destination for keratoconus and corneal ectasia management in Chandigarh.
