Keratoconus Treatment
Find relief from the uncomfortable symptoms of Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a progressive condition characterized by the irregular steepening of the cornea, causing blurred vision.
40.6% of patients living with keratoconus have a prevalence of depression, and of those individuals, most experience moderate to severe depression.
Around 15% of keratoconic individuals ultimately require a corneal transplant. This procedure is the the most common type of transplant surgery, costing between $13,000 – $27,000 directly. The indirect cost of this procedure includes 1-2 weeks of missed income to recover.
For those patients who do not require a corneal transplant, most can benefit from wearing gas permeable contact lenses. These patients often gain comfort and clarity from medically necessary specialty contact lenses. Some insurance plans even include an extra benefit to cover the costs.
