Keratoconus

Treatment

Mayo Clinic offers the most advanced treatment options for keratoconus. Treatment depends on the progression of your condition and includes the following options to correct your vision.

• Glasses or soft contact lenses.
• Rigid corneal contact lenses. Mayo Clinic contact lens fitters have extensive experience in customizing and fitting contact lenses to abnormally shaped corneas.
• Scleral contact lenses. Mayo Clinic contact lens fitters have significant experience in fitting these special lenses. The precision necessary to correctly fit them can be challenging for eye clinics that primarily fit regular contact lenses.
• Surgery. Mayo Clinic experts offer cornea transplants (keratoplasty) and surgery for corneal inserts.
• Experimental treatments.
