What is Keratoconus?
Keratoconus typically begins in the teenage years and progresses through the 20s and 30s before usually stabilizing. The irregular cone-shaped cornea causes significant visual distortion that glasses often cannot fully correct.
Early detection is crucial because corneal crosslinking (C3R) can halt progression if done in time. Gurugram's eye hospitals see many young patients with keratoconus, often detected when they seek LASIK consultation and are found to be unsuitable candidates.
🏙️ Context in Gurugram
Keratoconus is frequently detected in young Gurugram professionals seeking LASIK. The city's cornea specialists offer comprehensive keratoconus management including advanced crosslinking protocols (epi-off, epi-on, accelerated) and specialty contact lens fitting.

Implantable lenses to correct refractive error in stable keratoconus after crosslinking.
