After keratoconus-related procedures, it's essential to follow your doctor's advice regarding post-operative care. Generally, gentle, non-irritating shampoos are recommended.

Emerging treatments include collagen cross-linking, which strengthens the cornea, and newer types of contact lenses, such as scleral lenses, which can provide improved vision without surgery.

Many individuals with keratoconus can drive, especially in the early stages. However, as the condition progresses, it may impact visual acuity and clarity, requiring adjustments or alternative arrangements.

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses are not exclusive to astigmatism; they can also be used by individuals with keratoconus and other refractive errors.

While keratoconus can significantly affect vision, most individuals do not go completely blind. Early detection and appropriate treatment can help preserve vision.

Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery may not be the first choice for keratoconus. Options like scleral lenses or corneal cross-linking are often considered more suitable.

Yes, there are multifocal scleral lenses available that can provide vision correction for individuals with presbyopia as well as keratoconus.

After a corneal transplant, rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses or scleral lenses are often recommended to improve vision.

The best contact lens varies by individual, but scleral lenses and RGP lenses are commonly recommended for keratoconus.

Some individuals with mild keratoconus may tolerate soft lenses, but they often provide less visual correction compared to RGP or scleral lenses.

Yes, individuals with keratoconus can wear contact lenses, and many find that specially designed lenses (like RGP or scleral lenses) provide better vision than glasses.
