A cornea transplant would be the last resort.
There are non-invasive treatments and less invasive treatments developed in the 1990's.
INTACS are tiny semi-circle rings placed in the layers of the cornea. They are placed over the area that is buldging/steepening to help reduce the irregularity and improve the quality of vision with contacts.
Cornea Collagen Crosslinking with Riboflavin (C3-R or CXL) is a 30 minutes office treatment that strengthens the cornea and stops the progression of keratoconus. This is the most important treatment. The earlier a patient has this procedure the less damage to the eye.
Once the cornea has been stabilized then contact lenses can be worn with more comfort and better quality of vision.
