Keratoconus Clinic

Vancouver Keratoconus - Diagnosis, Management, and Correction

Our Keratoconus clinic is in place so that our team can provide proactive care to individuals who currently have, or may be at risk, of developing keratoconus. Our clinic uses screening techniques and advanced diagnostics (Medmont Topogapher) to ensure our doctors are able to diagnose early and precisely track progression so that intervention and treatment can be implemented as soon as possible to maximize long term visual potential over your lifetime. We provide a variety of treatment options, catered to your visual needs, and will work closely with your corneal surgeons to implement a plan specific to your eyes. Early intervention maximizes future visual potential.

Keratoconus - Glasses, Contact Lenses, or Surgery?

Treatment is multifactorial with many options depending on the stage and the severity of the condition. We at Prpic Eyecare Centre strongly believe in proactive care, and that is no different when it comes to keratoconus. The best plan for anyone with keratoconus, or anyone who may have risk factors, is to diagnose the condition as early as possible to mitigate risk factors and to reduce the likelihood of progression. The optimal approach to minimizing progression is through a procedure called Corneal Cross Linking, performed by corneal surgeons. For people with changes to their cornea from the condition already, the best way to optimize vision is through the use of scleral contact lenses.
