At Keratoconus Specialists of Maryland, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments for keratoconus, tailored to meet the individual needs of each patient. Our goal is to provide effective solutions that improve vision, enhance comfort, and prevent the progression of the condition. Our treatment options include Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking (CXL) and specialty contact lenses.

Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking (CXL)
Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking (CXL) is a groundbreaking treatment for keratoconus that strengthens the cornea and halts the progression of the disease. This minimally invasive procedure involves the application of riboflavin (vitamin B2) eye drops to the cornea, followed by exposure to ultraviolet A (UVA) light. The interaction between riboflavin and UVA light increases the collagen cross-links within the cornea, enhancing its stability and rigidity. CXL is particularly effective in the early stages of keratoconus and is a crucial step in preserving vision and preventing the need for more invasive treatments, such as corneal transplants.

Contact Lenses for Keratoconus
Our primary approach to managing keratoconus involves specialty contact lenses, designed to delay and prevent the need for corneal transplants. Our advanced contact lens designs provide improved vision and comfort, surpassing the capabilities of traditional lenses. Our treatment options include soft lenses, rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses, hybrid lenses, Scleral lenses,  PVR PROSE, and EyePrint PRO. . These lenses are expertly designed to offer excellent visual results for those with keratoconus.
