Hi lybrate-user, let me suggest you both surgical and non-surgical options for your problem. 1. INTACS: Intacs are used to reshape the natural curves of the cornea to correct nearsightedness. The intacs are small segments placed between the tissue layers of the cornea. There has been much success with the use of INTACS. There are many benefits to the use of INTACS like: It is only a 10 minute procedure, You can remove them or exchange them over time, Can delay the progression of Keratoconus. 2. C3-R: C3-R also know as Corneal Collagen Cross-linking with Riboflavin is another option for Keratoconus patients. This procedure is used to strengthen the cornea. C3R has been very effective in patients with Keratoconus. Over the course of 2-3 months it continues to strengthen the cornea and stops the progression of keratoconus. In some patients it has reversed the damage caused by keratoconus. The procedure takes about 30 minuted and involves the placement of drops in the affected eye. The doctor than places a UV light on the eye to activate the drops. There is no pain or post maintenance required after the procedure. 3. CK - FOr Astigmatism: Conductive Keratoplasty- Or CK is a painless 5 minute procedure that can be done in the doctors office. This procedure has been shown to improve the vision of Keratoconus patients and reduce astigmatism. 4. Corneal Transplant: When no other treatment works and scarring has already taken place on the cornea, corneal transplant may be the only potential way to recover vision. During a corneal transplant, the doctor creates a ?button? of the distorted corneal tissue, removes it and the donor corneal tissue is grafted onto the eye. While a corneal transplant will relieve the symptoms of keratoconus, it may not provide you with flawless vision. You are most likely to need corrective lens for clear and there are a lot of complications which can happen. Hope this helps. Good luck.
