KERATOCONUS CORNEA
What is keratoconus? It is a progressive eye condition of the cornea that leads to weakening and corneal thinning resulting in a change in shape.
This in turn, can lead to distortion of the light entering your eye and thus your vision is affected. The change in shape that occurs in the cornea includes coning, bulging and irregularity, resulting in a thin cornea.

KERATOCONUS SIGNS
Symptoms and signs usually start in adolescence or when children are younger, and this means multiple trips to the opticians because glasses are no longer fit for purpose.
When this happens, this should be an indicator to start thinking about keratoconus. Keratoconus Patients may also complain of seeing multiple images, a symptom and phenomenon known as karatoconus ghosting.
Keratoconus can present in both eyes or in one eye at first and the second eye later. While it is considered as a rare disease, with the advent of better awareness and advanced improved imaging of the cornea, keratoconus is not as uncommon as previously thought and incidence in London and world-wide is rising.
KERATOCONUS DIAGNOSIS
Diagnosis primarily comes from a consultation with our keratoconus specialists in addition to comparative chronological scans to see the malformation of the cornea over time, and to determine the stages of keratoconus.
In certain populations, where suspicion is high (such as a family member with the condition) we can detect sub-clinical keratoconus.
KERATOCONUS EYE
TREATMENT OPTIONS
In order to understand keratoconus treatment, we must think of this type of corneatreatment as 2 distinct processes. Both processes are available at The Harley Street Eye Centre.
The first is to stop progression of the disease through corneal collagen cross linking.
Secondly, reshaping the cornea is paramount to improving your vision.
Treatments we have available are:
1. Custom contact lenses
2. Corneal Cross Linking
3. Intra-corneal reshaping implants: Corneal ring implant, intacs surgery
4. Topography guided laser surface ablation.
5. Combined therapy: Corneal Collagen Cross Linking + laser surface ablation or corneal rings.
* Financing Options Available
From new onset Keratoconus to advanced keratoconus our team of keratoconus specialists are able to make this process less daunting through our established & comprehensive keratoconus clinic.
CORNEAL ABRASION CORNEA SCRATCH
Corneal scratches or cornea scrapes can occur anywhere, anytime. Scratching your cornea can occur when placing a contact lens, or your newborn reaching for your face and scratching your eye.
When this happens the first thing to do is not to panic despite the pain you may feel. Try to keep the affected eye closed as blinking can be painful.
What will you be feeling and experiencing?
Pain when blinking
Light sensitivity
Watery blood shot eyes
Blurry Vision
WHAT CAN THE HARLEY STREET EYE CENTRE DO FOR YOUR CORNEAL SCRATCH?
Corneal Abrasion Treatment: A clinical corneal consultation will be needed, where we will apply an eye drop to stain the eye and confirm the scratch. Scratches in the cornea tend to be in the epithelial layer (top layer of the cornea) and thus future regrowth is expected however this will take a little time.
We can assist regrowth by placing a clear bandage contact lens on to protect the cornea for a few days while regrowth occurs.
You will also be given a topical eye antibiotic to prevent infection from bacteria that may have been introduced.
CORNEA TRANSPLANTATION
KERATOPLASTY
Corneal Transplant is medically known as a Keratoplasty. It is a surgical procedure where unhealthy cornea is replaced with a clear new cornea from a cornea donor.
The corneal transplants our corneal transplant surgeons perform at The Harley Street Eye Centre are:
1. Full thickness Corneal Transplant: Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK)
2. Partial Thickness Corneal Transplant: Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK)
3. Endothelial Keratoplasty: Decement’s Stripping Endotheial Keratoplasty (DSEK)
For more information, please submit a contact enquiry or get in touch via telephone to speak with one of our cornea doctors.
PTERYGIUM EYE TREATMENTS & SURGERY
The white of the eye is called the sclera, and its not uncommon for a slow growth to appear which is pink and fleshy in nature. Usually, pterygium is confined to the sclera however it can encroach on the cornea and cause visual disturbance in addition to potential scarring of the cornea.
The pterygium symptoms you may experience will range from sensation of irritation, grittiness and inflammation along with potential symptoms of dryness to visual disturbance and blurry vision if the pterygium is found to encroach on the cornea.
Depending on the extent of growth, treatment may start with symptomatic relief if vision is not affected with regular monitoring. Surgical removal is an option if symptom relief becomes ineffective or if the cornea is at risk.
If you do suspect you have a pterygium do feel free to get in touch with The Harley Street Eye Centre to speak with a pterygium specialist.
