Over time, this thinning causes the normally round cornea to become cone-like in shape. As the cornea bulges outward, vision can become increasingly distorted, and an intense sensitivity to light may develop.<\/p>\n
For patients with keratoconus, Drs.\u00a0Richard Gordon<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Sonia Kern<\/a>\u00a0may be able to restore a normal shape to the cornea with Intacs\u00ae ocular implants<\/strong> or scleral lenses<\/strong>. Corneal collagen cross-linking is also offered through our partnership with Avedro, the world leader in corneal remodeling. Avedro has the only FDA approved cross-linking system to treat patients with progressive keratoconus and post-LASIK ectasia. The procedure combines ultra-violet light and riboflavin eye drops to reduce and stop keratoconus.<\/p>\n In more severe cases, however, corneal transplant surgery<\/a>\u00a0may be the optimal solution.
