Keratoconus Treatments available at LaserVision UK

Keratoconus Treatments available at LaserVision UK

Here at LaserVision, we do much more than just laser eye surgery. As corneal specialists, our Consultant Surgeons treat a variety of complex eye conditions and diseases with patient’s travelling from across the country to seek invaluable expertise and explore specialist treatment options recommended by our team. This is especially the case for patients looking for treatment and solutions to the eye condition, keratoconus.

Our consultants have considerable experience and expertise in the field of Keratoconus and have even introduced new techniques over the years which have been hailed a great success for many. Discover the range of Keratoconus treatments available at LaserVision below:

Rigid Contact lenses.

Rigid (hard) gas-permeable (RGP) contact lenses can greatly improve vision when glasses are no longer effective. These are the most common method of improving the vision for patients with keratoconus.

Corneal segments.

Corneal segments are clear small, semicircular plastic rings of various thicknesses, which are inserted within the cornea at its outer edges. There are three main types on the market currently – Intacs, Kerarings and Ferrara Rings. The insertion of corneal segments flattens the central area of the cornea and corrects myopic refractive errors.

Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking – CXLink™.

Cross-linking is not a new technique and has long been used as a medical interventional technique in other areas such as dentistry. However, in recent years it has gained momentum in the treatment for stabilising keratoconus.

LaserLink™ – Topographic guided customised ablation laser surgery.

Advanced Topographic Guided Laser Treatment (T-CAT) is one of the most precise methods of reducing higher order abberrations in patients with keratoconus.

Corneal graft surgery.

For patients in whom other methods of correction are not suitable, corneal transplant is an excellent option. This operation has been carried out for over 100 years, however in recent years this technique has been greatly improved.

Beyond transplant.

If the vision is still not clear after a corneal transplant do not give up hope of good vision. There are still many options available.

Our consultants will only recommend treatment following a comprehensive consultation and will be based on a number of factors including the condition’s stage of progression. Our patients also take comfort in the fact that every procedure we undertake is always personalized to achieve the best results for our patients.

Dr Tappin and the team at LaserVision were amazing. I underwent Lasik corrective surgery and the process could not have been smoother. I was guided through the process with care and professionalism throughout. My results have been outstanding. I could not have asked for more from the team at LaserVision and I am truly grateful for my new vision.

Utterly professional and caring from start to finish. I was quite nervous about having laser but am so pleased with the results. There has always been someone to advise and support every step of the way and patient care and well being really is the priority here. Thank you for looking after me and my eyes so well.

Dr Jayaswal has been amazing and changed my life. He made me feel so comfortable and relaxed in his care at the first meet, to remembering me with a personalised greeting, calmly explaining the procedure and reassuring me all the way through the surgery. I couldn’t recommend him enough for Lasik eye surgery - I now have perfect vision, a real dream come true! Thank you so much!

I had lens replacement surgery.  After being both short sighted and long sighted for decades I can now see near and far without glasses or contact lens.  It really is amazing.  The care was great and so far the recovery has been easy.

Amazing service from start to finish, I had LASIK surgery in August this year after years of consideration I finally took the plunge and went for the surgery with Mr Tappin.

Mr Mike Tappin and his team were brilliant from the consultation right through to the surgery and aftercare. Mr Tappin and his team were very reassuring throughout the surgery and put me at ease every step of the way.

If you are thinking about having laser eye treatment or at the start of your journey with it, I would highly recommend seeing Mr Tappin and his team!
