Keratoconus Treatment in Muzaffarabad — FAQs
Does corneal crosslinking cure keratoconus?
No — CXL halts progression in 97% of cases. It does not reverse existing ectasia but prevents further deterioration.
Can I have LASIK if I have keratoconus?
No. LASIK is absolutely contraindicated in keratoconus — it will worsen the condition. Contact FIO Hospital for safe alternatives.
What happens if keratoconus is not treated?
Progressive thinning, increasing irregular astigmatism, eventually requiring corneal transplant. Early CXL prevents this.
