Keratoconus

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Keratoconus

Keratoconus ek progressive eye condition hai jisme cornea (aankh ka transparent front part) dheere-dheere patla hokar cone shape me bulge ho jata hai. Isse light properly focus nahi hoti aur vision distorted ya blurry ho jata hai.

๐Ÿ” Common Symptoms

  • Blurred ya distorted vision
  • Light sensitivity (photophobia)
  • Night vision me problem

โš ๏ธ Causes & Risk Factors

  • Genetic factors (family history)
  • Aankhon ko baar-baar rub karna
  • Allergies ya chronic eye irritation
  • Connective tissue disorders (rare cases)

๐Ÿงช Diagnosis

Keratoconus ka early detection bahut important hai. Diagnosis ke liye:
  • Corneal Topography (cornea ka detailed map)
  • Slit Lamp Examination
  • Vision Test & Refraction

๐Ÿ’Š Treatment Options

1. Eyeglasses / Soft Contact Lenses
Early stage me vision correct karne ke liye
2. RGP (Rigid Gas Permeable) Lenses
Irregular cornea ko smooth surface provide karte hain
3. Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL)
๐Ÿ‘‰ Most effective treatment to stop progression
๐Ÿ‘‰ UV light + riboflavin se cornea strong banaya jata hai
4. Intacs (Corneal Implants)
Cornea shape improve karne ke liye small ring implants
5. Corneal Transplant (Advanced cases)
Severe condition me damaged cornea replace kiya jata hai
