KERATOCONUS - 1st in Rajasthan
What Is Keratoconus?
​Keratoconus is a condition where the cornea becomes thin and weak, causing it to bulge forward into a cone shape. This irregular shape affects how light enters the eye, leading to blurred vision, frequent changes in power, and irregular astigmatism. It usually starts in the teenage years or early adulthood and progresses over time.
Keratoconus at Perfect Vision
Perfect Vision was the first centre in Rajasthan to introduce advanced keratoconus diagnosis and treatment, including C3R, scleral lens fitting, and phakic IOL solutions.
Our specialists offer comprehensive evaluation, customised treatment plans, and access to the latest technology to preserve vision and slow disease progression at the earliest stage.
Treatment Options
1
Contact Lenses
In early stages, glasses or soft lenses may help. As the condition progresses, rigid gas-permeable (RGP), scleral, or semi-scleral lenses provide clearer, more stable vision by masking the irregular corneal shape.
2
Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking (C3R / CXL)
A minimally invasive procedure that strengthens the cornea and slows or stops progression. Riboflavin drops and UV light help create new collagen bonds, increasing corneal stability.
This is currently the only proven method to halt progression.
Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments (ICRS)
Small ring implants inserted into the cornea to flatten the cone, improve shape, and reduce irregular astigmatism. The procedure is reversible and can be combined with crosslinking.

Implantable Contact Lens (ICL)
Suitable for patients with stable keratoconus who still have significant refractive errors. A phakic lens is implanted inside the eye to correct myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism, providing sharp, long-term vision improvement.
5
Advanced Surgical Procedures
In advanced cases where lenses or other treatments no longer help, corneal transplant or DALK may be required to restore usable vision.
Symptoms
Blurred or distorted vision
​Frequent changes in spectacle power
Difficulty seeing clearly even with glasses
Increased glare and light sensitivity
Multiple or “ghost” images, especially at night
