Why keratoconus is more common in adolescence around the age of 20

It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up.

In the early stages, keratoconus can manifest as common myopic astigmatism, and poor vision requires glasses. Advanced (intermediate) visual acuity is markedly reduced, and the patient has double or multiple images of vision that cannot be improved with glasses. Patients in the advanced and edematous phases have very poor vision and are able to see the cloudy and deformed cornea in the mirror on their own.

Since the diagnosis has been made, it is recommended to ** as soon as possible. In the early and middle stages, by wearing RGP, corneal cross-linking surgery can effectively control the progression of keratoconus.

For example, the corneal thickness of more than 400mm can be cross-linked for control, and contact lenses RGP can be used to correct vision, but it is recommended to wear a frame if you are afraid of wearing the cornea. In addition, even if you can't control it, you can have a corneal transplant, and it is best to observe it at any time and have regular corneal topography examinations. It is best to do a corneal transplant before the corneal perforation, so that you can only do the plate graft and it will also benefit your vision after surgery.

Don't worry, it's generally possible, and it's not necessarily related to blindness.

Keratoconus is a congenital corneal dysplasia that is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. It usually develops during adolescence and develops slowly. It is mostly bilateral, but it can occur sequentially, and the degree can vary, and in severe cases, it will lead to astigmatism, high myopia, and severe vision loss.

Mild keratoconus may be treated with rigid contact lenses, or superficial corneal lenses or lamellar keratoplasty. If the conus is high and the cornea is irregular full-thickness opacity, penetrating keratoplasty should be performed.

Generally, this disease can be screened out during myopia eye surgery, and some people feel that their vision has deteriorated.

This disease is more common in adolescents and is characterized by the cone-shaped protrusion of the cornea**, and the thickness of the cornea** is thinner; often accompanied by high astigmatism, usually in both eyes or in one eye; The cause of the disease is unknown.

At present, doctors only suspect and do not diagnose it. It is recommended that you go to several hospitals, or it is better to go to Jiahui Ophthalmology. **Corneal ring surgery for keratoconus can be done at his place, and there are other RGP glasses, corneal transplantation is best not considered.

Hello, how are you doing? Today I also went to Aier Ophthalmology, it is also 325 degrees, the corneal thickness is only about 467, the doctor said that it may be keratoconus or not, it was going to get off work, I saw that they were very anxious, and I didn't know what keratoconus was at that time, so I paid a deposit to make an appointment for Jingyi all-laser surgery, and now I see it, the original impact is quite big, please reply, thank you.

Keratoconus** Method:

1. Ordinary glasses: In the early stage of the lesion, satisfactory corrected vision can be obtained by wearing ordinary glasses, but it cannot prevent the progression of keratoconus.

2. Rigid contact lenses (RGP): the lesion continues to develop and there is a high degree of irregular astigmatism, which is used for those who cannot be corrected with ordinary glasses.

3. Surgery**: After the disease progresses, it is feasibleCorneal cross-linking**, control the further development of keratoconus. If the patient's condition is severe and visually impaired, corneal transplantation is the only way to go.

Corneal cross-linking surgery costs about 10,000 yuan per eye, and corneal transplantation requires about 40,000 yuan per eye.

Wear RGP rigid contact lenses first.

Keratoconus is a kind of eye glass characterized by the thinning of the cornea** protruding forward and conical shape, which often causes a high degree of irregular myopic astigmatism and varying degrees of visual impairment, without inflammation. It usually occurs in young people around the age of 20 and usually occurs in both eyes one after the other, and the cause is unknown. Keratoconus ophthalmopathy is not transmitted through blood and does not affect blood donation.

Those who can donate blood will not be affected.

Hello: It is recommended to go to the hospital for regular check-ups, generally this eye disease is more likely to occur in adolescence. It is necessary to closely observe the disease, and wear RGP to control the progression of the disease in the early stage, and some may not develop. In addition, the results of deep lamellar corneal transplantation are also very good.

Can't be thorough**.

However, after the regular**, uncomfortable conditions such as vision loss can be significantly improved and effectively controlled.

Corneal cross-linking surgery can be considered for stabilization at the initial stage, but if the condition is serious, corneal transplantation can only be done.

Keratoconus is a dilated disease, that is to say, in this ** or next ** of the cornea, it becomes thin, protrudes forward, and is locally deformed. This can cause astigmatism and progressive loss of vision.

Generally speaking, it occurs in this kind of young people, such as teenagers to twenties, it is easier to develop, and Asians are more common than Europeans, especially in northern China, keratoconus is more common. For example, if we are nearsighted, our myopia gradually deepens, and astigmatism occurs, or astigmatism gradually deepens, which are the manifestations of early keratoconus.

If the keratoconus develops to a certain extent, it may cause corneal edema, or even local scarring of the cornea, or very, very large astigmatism, irregular astigmatism, and finally may have very poor vision, and cornea (surgery) is required**.

With RGP can be corneal and astigmatism.

No, the state has begun to stop the production of contact lenses. Don't wear this thing anymore.

The exact ** is unclear, and it may be caused by multiple factors, such as genetic factors, endocrine factors, etc.
