Keratoconus Management (CXL, Contact Lens)
Keratoconus Management (CXL, Contact Lens)
Introduction: Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the cornea becomes thin and cone-shaped, leading to visual distortion. Management includes treatments like Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL) and specialized contact lenses.
Symptoms: Symptoms of keratoconus include distorted or blurred vision, increased sensitivity to light, and frequent changes in prescription glasses.
Causes: The exact cause is unknown, but keratoconus often has a genetic component and involves progressive thinning of the cornea.
Treatment: CXL: Strengthens the corneal structure by applying riboflavin (vitamin B2) and exposing the cornea to UV light, helping to halt progression.
Contact Lenses: Specialized lenses such as rigid gas permeable (RGP) or scleral lenses can improve vision by providing a smoother optical surface and compensating for the irregular corneal shape.
Eyelid Surgery
Introduction: Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a procedure designed to improve the appearance and function of the eyelids. It can address issues such as drooping eyelids, excess skin, or puffiness.
Symptoms: Common reasons for considering eyelid surgery include drooping upper eyelids that may obstruct vision, sagging lower eyelids, or visible under-eye bags.
Causes: These issues can be caused by aging, genetics, or trauma, leading to changes in the skin and muscle of the eyelids.
Treatment: The surgery involves removing excess skin, fat, or muscle from the eyelids to correct functional impairments and enhance appearance. The procedure can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids and aims to rejuvenate the eye area and improve overall vision if the drooping is affecting sight.
