Keratoconus
Understanding Keratoconus:
Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that affects the cornea, causing it to gradually thin and bulge into a cone-like shape. This structural change alters the normal refractive capabilities of the cornea, leading to distorted vision and increased sensitivity to light. At Hyderabad Eye Hospital, we are committed to providing specialized care for individuals with keratoconus, utilizing advanced techniques and personalized treatment plans to improve visual outcomes and enhance overall eye health.

Our dedicated team of eye care professionals offers a range of specialized services to address the unique challenges posed by keratoconus, including:
- Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL):
