When you’re living with keratoconus, the quality of your vision can feel unpredictable and frustrating. Choosing expert care makes all the difference, which is why patients turn to Dr. Brian at Boxer Wachler Vision Institute. With proven techniques and compassionate guidance, you can access advanced treatment options in Los Angeles designed to protect and improve your eyesight.
What Happens to Your Eyes with Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a condition where your cornea, the clear front part of your eye, becomes thinner and gradually bulges outward into a cone-like shape. Because the cornea plays a central role in focusing light onto your retina, even small changes to its shape can significantly affect how you see.
Instead of sharp, clear images, you may notice increasing distortion, blurriness, or difficulty seeing at night. Everyday tasks such as reading, driving, or working on a computer may become harder as the condition progresses.
How Keratoconus Affects Vision Quality
As your cornea continues to thin and change shape, you may develop:
Blurred or distorted vision – Letters or objects may appear smeared, shadowed, or doubled.
Increased light sensitivity – Glare and halos around lights, especially at night, can interfere with driving or daily activities.
Frequent prescription changes – Glasses or contact lenses may stop working effectively as your cornea becomes more irregular.
Reduced visual clarity – Fine details may become harder to distinguish, even with corrective lenses.
These changes can affect not only how clearly you see but also how comfortable you feel in different lighting and daily environments.
Treatment Options That Can Protect Your Sight
Fortunately, today’s advanced treatments can help slow or stop keratoconus progression and preserve your vision quality. Options may include:
Specialty contact lenses – Custom lenses designed to fit the irregular cornea can restore clearer vision.
Holcomb C3-R – A non-invasive treatment that strengthens corneal tissue to prevent further thinning and bulging invented by Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler and has an Olympic Gold medal behind it.
Other advanced procedures – Intacs, CK and Visian ICL are also options that were pioneered by Dr. Brian to improve quality of vison.
With the right care, many patients maintain or even improve their vision and reduce the impact of keratoconus on their quality of life.
