Keratoconus Treatment in Lawrenceville
If you’ve been dealing with blurry, distorted, or constantly changing vision, you may be experiencing signs of keratoconus. At Now Eye See Family Eye Care, we offer keratoconus treatment in Lawrenceville to support clearer, more comfortable vision at every stage of the condition. During your visit, our eye doctor evaluates your cornea using corneal topography, so he can recommend solutions that fit your lifestyle and visual needs.
What is keratoconus?
Keratoconus is a condition where the cornea becomes thinner over time and gradually forms a cone-like shape. Because the cornea is responsible for bending light into the eye, even small changes can affect how clearly you see. Many people start noticing symptoms in their teens or early adult years,¹ and those changes may become more noticeable over time.
A comprehensive eye exam helps our team understand the shape and thickness of your cornea. With this information, our keratoconus specialist can monitor changes and determine whether keratoconus may be present.
Symptoms of keratoconus
Keratoconus often progresses slowly, which can make early signs easy to overlook. Common symptoms include:
- Blurry or distorted vision
- Increased light sensitivity
- Poor night vision
- Frequent prescription changes
- Halos or glare around lights
- Eye strain or discomfort
If you notice any of these changes, schedule an eye exam to rule out or confirm keratoconus.
Treatment for keratoconus
Your keratoconus treatment plan depends on how your cornea is shaped and how your vision is affected.
For mild cases, updating your glasses or contact lenses prescription may improve clarity. When the condition progresses, many patients benefit from specialty contact lenses, especially scleral lenses or rigid gas permeable lenses, because these designs create a smooth surface that helps focus light more effectively.
A contact lens exam allows us to precisely fit you with the right specialty contact lenses to match the shape of your cornea. Using advanced corneal mapping technology, we measure the curvature and thickness of your cornea in detail. We can then design fully customizable lenses that provide a smoother optical surface, better comfort, and clearer vision for keratoconus.
