Keratoconus Dubai

Keratoconus Dubai is quite a serious eye disorder that affects one in 2000 individuals. The condition progresses in both eyes for about 96% of Keratoconus patients. The condition is a disease of the cornea, which leads it to swell up and bulge disproportionately causing visual disturbances in the central section of your vision. Keratoconus is a physical change in the cornea that can be corrected with the use of rigid contact lenses during the early stages of the condition that may help to reduce the progression of the disease.

The true cause for Keratoconus is not known, although it is seen to run in families, no genetic link has yet been found to connect the disease to specific causes. Some scientists claim that the condition is more visible in those patients with chronic eye rubbing directly damaging the structure of the cornea.

Keratoconus starts when the fibres in the eye called collagen the same ones found on skin weaken. The weakened collagen, which really are protein fibres start to bulge unable to hold the shape of the cornea. The bulge starts from the centre, changing the cornea from a dome shape to cone shaped over the years. The condition usually starts in teenagers and can progress very quickly and halt or it may progress slowly over many decades.

The condition like any other condition affects your sight, and the first signs of the condition are usually floaters, blurred far vision, and patients do feel the bulge. It is almost impossible for people with Keratoconus to see objects without distortion, and would therefore need specially made eyeglasses or rigid contact lenses to force the bulge back into place.

The symptoms that are easily noticeable during an eye examination or even when the disease starts would be a sudden change in the equality of your vision. A patient will experience double or even triple ghost images, and will be unable to make out objects or faces at all during the latter stages of Keratoconus.

Keratoconus is a dangerous to anyone’s vision, and in most severe cases, a corneal transplant will be required to restore your vision. Keratoconus has varying degrees of progression that has to be monitored right from the start to decide on an appropriate course of action. Eye Surgery UAE may be a requirement to stop the disease from progressing further. Corneal Transplants would be the best treatment for a bulging cornea, as the corneal change that takes place is a physical change caused by weakening of the protein fibres; the only viable and effective treatment is to perform a corneal transplant.
