It is important to treat keratoconus when it appears, because if left untreated, some cases may scar the cornea or result in permanent vision loss.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;\/eye-centers\/&#8221;

In its earliest stages, your eye doctor will most likely monitor its progression and provide vision correction options, like eyeglasses or soft contacts. In some cases, eyeglasses become less useful if the eye develops a strong irregular astigmatism. Patients may turn to certain specialty lenses to better manage the disease \u2014 rigid gas permeable lenses (RGP) and scleral lenses are effective choices.<\/p>\n<p>As the disease progresses, our eye doctors have more advanced treatment options at their disposal. Corneal crosslinking uses ultraviolet light to strengthen the bonds between your cornea\u2019s collagen fibers and proteins to reverse the thinning cornea. Patients may also receive implantable ring segments (called INTACS) to help flatten the cornea and reduce the surface\u2019s cone shape. Highly advanced cases may require a cornea transplant, which uses corneal tissue from a donor.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;\/eye-centers\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Select a Location&#8221; module_id=&#8221;book-ur-appt&#8221; module_class=&#8221; &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;d2a2d63b-5c23-48ea-85b1-098c85c3e211&#8243; button_text_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#2175b4&#8243; button_border_color=&#8221;#2175b4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|15px|10px|15px|true|true&#8221; global_module=&#8221;11757&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_css_main_element_phone=&#8221;width: 100%;||text-align: center;&#8221; button_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; button_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; button_text_color__hover=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; button_bg_color__hover=&#8221;#004080&#8243; button_bg_enable_color__hover=&#8221;on&#8221; button_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; button_border_color__hover=&#8221;#004080&#8243;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;\/location-search\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Book Your Appointment&#8221; button_text_tablet=&#8221;Book Your Appointment&#8221; button_text_phone=&#8221;SCHEDULE NOW&#8221; button_text_last_edited=&#8221;off|phone&#8221; module_id=&#8221;book-ur-appt&#8221; module_class=&#8221; &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;68f14bff-8f6c-4fa9-85ee-d41bad9097b5&#8243; button_text_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|15px|10px|15px|true|true&#8221; global_module=&#8221;617&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_css_main_element_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_css_main_element_tablet=&#8221;width: 100%;||text-align: center;&#8221; custom_css_main_element_phone=&#8221;width: 100%;||text-align: center;&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;inline-btns-wrapper&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_enable_image=&#8221;off&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;right&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_css_main_element_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; custom_css_main_element_tablet=&#8221;display: flex;||flex-wrap: wrap;||margin-bottom: 30px !important;&#8221; custom_css_main_element_phone=&#8221;display: flex;||flex-wrap: wrap;||margin-bottom: 30px !important;&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/localeyedoctor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Treating-Managing-Keratoconus.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;Treating &#038; Managing Keratoconus&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#004080&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;100px||100px||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; module_class=&#8221;ipad-pro-row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;90%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;80%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;align-items: center;&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_css_main_element_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; custom_css_main_element_tablet=&#8221;width: 100% !important;&#8221; custom_css_main_element_phone=&#8221;width: 100% !important;&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;1px&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; max_width=&#8221;800px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Your Local Eye Doctor in Buffalo, NY and Rochester, NY<\/h2>\n<p>If you believe you may have the eye disorder keratoconus, give us a call and our team will provide you with the relief and expertise you need.
