Keratoconus Toronto
Management Program
New & Comprehensive Solution to an Old Problem
Diagnosis → Treatment → Follow up Care
Keratoconus is a rare condition involving the bulging of the cornea. In time, keratoconus causes the cornea to thin, and without treatment vision begins to deteriorate to the point that glasses or contacts are no longer viable solutions. For patients who suffer from keratoconus, Yonge Eglinton Laser Eye + Cosmetic Centre of Toronto, Ontario, offers a comprehensive Keratoconus Management Program. Our doctors have the expertise to diagnose, treat and monitor patients suffering from Keratoconus.
Step 1: Diagnosis
Symptoms of keratoconus often begin in the late teenage years or early twenties and progress until people are in their 30’s or early 40’s. Common symptoms include:
- Halos and ghost images
- Increased light sensitivity
- Difficulty driving at night
- Eye strain
- Headaches and general eye pain
- Eye irritation
These symptoms are also characteristic of other problems relating to the eye. That is why keratoconus requires diagnosis from an experienced eye doctor who is trained to recognize symptoms and observe signs of keratoconus. The surgical team at the Yonge Eglinton Laser Eye + Centre are leaders in the field with over 15 years of experience individually and over 75+ years combined in diagnosing and treating patients that suffer from keratoconus.
Our doctors use the patient’s refraction, keratometry, corneal topography and slit-lamp examination to screen for keratoconus. A diagnosis of keratoconus can explain a patient's symptoms and/or alter a plan of action for refractive surgery.
Step 2: Treatment
Previously, patients with keratoconus relied only on corneal transplants when their eyes deteriorated beyond the point at which eye glasses or contacts could assist them. Now, in addition to corneal transplant surgery, the Yonge Eglinton Laser Eye + Cosmetic Centre offers two keratoconus treatment options: Corneal Ring Inserts and corneal cross linking.
Step 3: Follow up Care
When you decide to book treatment at the Yonge Eglinton Laser Eye + Cosmetic Centre, we take care of the rest. We will provide one-on-one counselling prior to surgery so that you know what to expect post surgery. We provide you with all required eye drops and show you how to put the eye drops in your eye to assist you with your at-home care. Following the treatment itself, we will see you up to 6 months post surgery to monitor your vision and to ensure that you are healing well. In addition, our surgeons are available on-call 24/7 to answer any questions you may have.
