Understanding Keratoconus?

Keratoconus (kehr-uh-toh-koh-nus) is a condition where the cornea—the clear, dome-shaped surface of the eye—thins and becomes irregularly shaped, causing a cone-like bulge. This results in distorted vision and symptoms such as:

  • Blurred vision
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Double vision
  • Thinning or bulging of the cornea

Epi-ON Corneal Cross-Linking: A Modern Solution

Epi-ON cross-linking is a less invasive procedure that strengthens the cornea, slowing or halting the progression of keratoconus. This method leaves the cornea’s outer layer intact, offering several benefits over the traditional Epi-OFF approach:

  • Faster recovery time
  • Reduced risk of infection and scarring
  • Less discomfort during recovery
  • Simultaneous treatment of both eyes

Dr. Reza Mozayeni, Dr. Trey Nunnery and the team at Providence Eye & Laser Specialists are dedicated to helping patients with keratoconus through innovative treatments like Epi-ON corneal cross-linking.
