Epi on cross linking and corneal sensitivity

A new study in journal of cataract and refractive surgery increases our knowledge of cross linking in keratoconus patients. Cross linking, as you may recall is a newer treatment for bulging cornea. The strength of the cornea is increased by adding riboflavin and activation it by UV radiation. This affects the nerves in the cornea.

This study on keratoconus patients undergoing cross linking compared the return of corneal sensation. It divided the patients into two groups. One group had epi off cross linkage and the other had epi on cross linkage.The Keratoconus experts analyzed the results. They came to the conclusion that the nerve sensation recovered in both methods. The recovery was faster in pi on or transepithelial corneal cross linking.

Currently the most efficous method for corneal collagen cross linking is the epithelium off Dresden protocol. Research in cross linking is further needed to make epithelium on more beneficial as it has quicker recovery and less patient discomfort.

Each individual eye is different. A keratoconus surgeon can discuss with you which treatment protocol would be best for your eye.

Cataracts in Keratoconus patients

Keratoconus as we have been reading on this site about keratoconus is a weakening of the cornea affecting quality vision. Cataracts, on the other hand affects the lens of the eye. It occurs when water enters the natural lens affecting its transparency. Our own Beverly Hills Keratoconus Expert Dr Khanna says” Cataract is a disease of older age where as Keratoconus occurs in childhood and youth.When a keratoconus patient grows older he ay develop cataract”. The problem in curing cataracts with keratoconus is finding a good surgeon proficient in Laser cataract surgery. The lens to replace the opacified natural lens. Two problems are faced by Los Angeles Cataract specialists treating Keratoconus patients suffering from cataracts. The first challenge is to get keratometry reading or the shape of the cornea.This is used in formula like srk-t or holladay. These mathematical expressions presume the front clear surface of the eye or the Cornea is round. In keratoconus as we know the cornea is of an abnormal shape. Many a time there are folds in the cornea, the epithelium is thickened. Sometimes the cornea with keratoconus may even have an opacity.

The second challenge in treating cataracts in keratoconus patients is choosing a good intraocular lens replacement. Toric lens could be helpful in such situations. Toric lens have astigmatism built in them.

Labors of keratoconus patients

This labor day,lets reflect on how patients suffering from keratoconus have to live their lives. Wearing thick glasses which give headaches, glare and at best only blurry vision. Another choice till now has been the very irritating contact lenses. You ca even put lipstick on a pig, but it still remains a pig. I am referring to some attempts at putting jewels on contact lenses to make them more attractive. These bulky pieces of plastic require a lot of motivation and sel flagellation. Whether these induce rubbing and cause further deterioration of keratoconus is debatable. What is not debatable is visiting Beverly hills keratoconus expert, dr.khanna and learn more about what might be beneficial to you. Yes you can use your medical insurance for this visit.
