Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Authority in providing the best eye health care, Quironsalud experts share the two most effective contact lenses for mild to severe keratoconus. Quironsalud explains that Keratoconus is a condition characterized by the progressive thinning of the cornea:

?The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped surface of the eye. When this area becomes thin and bulges outwards, it due to Keratoconus. The disease can progress slowly for five to ten years, and even longer. It generally occurs in both eyes, often having different degrees of severity.?

Quironsalud adds that as a progressive disorder, Keratoconus can be treated in varying ways. During its initial stages, corrective glasses and soft contact lenses are commonly used. However, as it becomes worse and the impairment in vision becomes more severe, greater interventions may be needed such as the use of hard lenses, and even surgery.

?Between the initial period and the more severe cases, the intermediary stage in the progression of Keratoconus will greatly benefit from special hard contact lenses. These are the RGP or Rigid Gas Permeable lens and the Scleral contact lens.?

According to the experts, RGP lenses are hard but breathable. They also retain their shape better and can aptly stay in position. These lenses help the individual regain a sharper vision and are especially effective for those who experience astigmatism. They went on to explain:

?Scleral lenses on the other hand, are perfect for patients who have sensitive eyes. The lens sits on the sclera or the white part of the eye. And the shape of the lens helps in keeping the eye lubricated. In addition, the Scleral contact lens can effectively help manage even a severely deformed cornea.?

These two contact lenses will help individuals who suffer from keratoconus during its intermediary stages. Specialists at Quironsalud suggest consulting an eye expert to know more about RGP and Scleral lenses.
