Keraflex operation for keratoconus treatment

By asking Dr. Muhammad Hantira, Honorary Assistant Professor, Department of Ophthalmology, um Al-Qura University, Saudi Arabia
, he clarified that:

Kerafflex is an operation to flatten the cornea (reduce corneal convexity). Kerafflex thermally reshapes the cornea without removing any type of tissue, so this process provides a unique ability to correct refraction without impairing the integrity of the cornea’s vital activity, as happens with LASIK and other refractive correction procedures.

Keraflex changes keratoconus convexity by thermally changing the pressure in collagen fibers, achieving a less convex cornea, correcting refraction and irregular corneal homogeneity relative to keratoconus, thus improving visual acuity.

Taking advantage of corneal collagen tangles improves corneal stability and also works to stop the progression of keratoconus disease, and this is what is new in the treatment of keratoconus, which will revolutionize the world of ophthalmology for the treatment of keratoconus.
