What are the treatment options if I have irregular cornea and my left eye is 175 and right eye is 725?

Doctor's Answers 1

Unfortunately it is very difficult to answer patient-specific questions like this over the internet.

Among the many different issues, it is impossible for you to convey the necessary information for a doctor to make a reasonable response.

For example, what kind of irregularity is it? How severe is it? Is it in the middle of the cornea, or at the side?

Is the power mentioned hyperopia (long sightedness), myopia (shortsightedness) or astigmatism?

What is the best corrected visual acuity? And many other questions/issues.

I would suggest you make an appointment to see a doctor, so that after a thorough examination, the treatment options can be fully discussed with you.

When is collagen cross linking for LASIK required, as opposed to optional?

Glad to hear that you are a suitable candidate for LASIK. Collagen cross-linking (CXL) has been a treatment for keratoconus for many years with proven benefits in stabilising a patient’s cornea and preventing them from suffering the effects of progressive increase in astigmatism and myopia resulting in the need to wear rigid contact lens. With the increasing popularity of corneal laser vision correction (LVC) over the last 20 to 30 years, refractive surgeons have been constantly fine-tuning their ability to distinguish between patients who may and may not be suitable for LVC.

What are the treatment options for ectropion?

If your eyelashes are rubbing your cornea, you probably have an entropion rather than an ectropion. There are several types of entropion, the most common of which is age related 'involutional' entropion. In these cases, either simple eyelid stitches are done which rotate the eyelashes outwards, or repair of the inferior eyelid muscles ('retractors') +/- eyelid tightening surgery is performed. But there are other types of entropions or conditions such as epiblepharon which can also cause the eyelashes to turn inwards.
