🎥 Dr. Mark Page Explains Keratoconus
Watch our expert optometrist discuss keratoconus symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.
What Is Keratoconus?
Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the normally round, dome-shaped cornea gradually thins and bulges outward into a cone shape. This irregular cornea distorts how light enters your eye, causing vision problems that glasses alone cannot correct.
Common Symptoms:
- Blurred or distorted vision that can't be fully corrected with glasses
- Increased sensitivity to light and glare
- Frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions
- Halos and starbursts around lights, especially at night
- Eye strain, headaches, and general eye irritation
- Double vision or ghosting in one eye
💡 Early Detection Saves Vision: Our advanced OCT and corneal topography systems can detect keratoconus in its earliest stages — often before you notice significant symptoms. Early intervention leads to better long-term outcomes.
Advanced Diagnostic Technology
At Arizona's Vision Eye Care Center, we use cutting-edge imaging technology that goes far beyond what the human eye can see:
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Ultra-high-resolution cross-sectional imaging reveals microscopic corneal details for the most accurate diagnosis and comfortable lens fitting.
Corneal Topography
Creates detailed 3D maps of over 20,000 corneal surface points to detect even the smallest irregularities.
Pachymetry
Precisely measures corneal thickness at multiple points to track thinning and disease progression.
Wavefront Analysis
Detects subtle optical distortions and aberrations that affect your vision quality.
Keratoconus Corneal Topography in Phoenix
Our advanced corneal topography system maps over 20,000 surface points across your cornea, creating a precise 3D image that reveals minute changes in shape and thickness. When combined with OCT imaging, we can detect keratoconus earlier and monitor progression more accurately than ever before.
This technology is essential for:
- Early keratoconus detection before symptoms worsen
- Tracking disease progression over time
- Designing custom contact lenses for optimal fit and comfort
- Determining candidacy for advanced treatments like corneal cross-linking
Keratoconus Scleral Contact Lenses
For most keratoconus patients, scleral lenses provide the clearest, most comfortable vision possible. These specialized lenses are larger than traditional contacts and vault over the irregular cornea, resting gently on the white of your eye (the sclera).
Why Scleral Lenses Work So Well:
- Stable Vision: The lens creates a smooth optical surface over the irregular cornea
- All-Day Comfort: A reservoir of fluid between the lens and cornea keeps your eye hydrated
- Custom Precision: Using OCT and topography data, each lens is designed specifically for your eye
- Reduced Irritation: No contact with the sensitive cornea means less discomfort
If scleral lenses aren't ideal for your situation, we also offer hybrid contact lenses that combine the optical clarity of rigid lenses with the comfort of soft lens edges, and custom rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses for mild to moderate cases.
