About
Once the progression of Keratoconus has naturally stabilised or has been halted with Collagen Cross-Linking, there are treatments available to correct the residual prescription caused by the disease. However, the prescription must be stable, which can take up to a year for it to be consistently stable.
At Precision Visoin we are one of the only clinics in the country that provides total visual rehabilitation and we have a variety of treatments to permanently correct the visual issues caused by the condition.
Once the prescription is stable, the treatment recommended will be determined by a specialist after comprehensive testing at a consultation. As Keratoconus weakens the structure of the cornea, it is recommended that no further stress is put in the area which is why sufferers are not allowed to have laser treatment even if it is stable.
However, there are three non-laser treatments available to correct the vision: Implantable Contact Lens, Piggy Back lenses and Clear Lens Exchange.
Treatments
Implantable Contact Lenses (ICL)
This is ideal for sufferers under the age of 40 and is able to correct complex prescriptions with high astigmatisms. It is the only vision correction treatment that is reversible.
Lens Replacement
This is designed for patients over the age of 40 that have developed a reading prescription. For Keratoconus we provide a range of Monofocal lenses that are able to correct complex astigmatisms.
Piggyback Lenses
This is for patients with extremely complex prescriptions and corneal abnormalities found in advanced cases of the condition. It involves two different lenses being inserted into the eye.
Our approach revolves around prioritising your optimal well-being.

Correcting Residual Prescriptions FAQ's
Residual prescriptions refer to any remaining refractive error in the eyes after previous vision correction procedures, such as LASIK, PRK, or cataract surgery.
Residual prescriptions can occur in a small percentage of cases after vision correction procedures, depending on factors such as the individual's eye anatomy and the type of procedure performed.
Residual prescriptions may result from factors such as under-correction, over-correction, irregular astigmatism, regression of the initial correction, or changes in the eye's refractive properties over time.
Residual prescriptions are typically detected during post-operative follow-up appointments with an eye care professional. Comprehensive eye exams, including refraction tests, help identify any remaining refractive errors.
Options for correcting residual prescriptions may include enhancement procedures, such as LASIK enhancement or PRK, exchange of intraocular lenses (IOLs) for cataract surgery patients, or specialty contact lenses for those ineligible for further surgical intervention.
Additional procedures to correct residual prescriptions are generally safe when performed by experienced eye surgeons and in appropriate candidates. However, risks and benefits should be carefully evaluated, and patients should discuss any concerns with their eye care provider.
The timing for addressing residual prescriptions varies depending on the type of procedure performed, the stability of the eyes, and other individual factors. In many cases, surgeons prefer to wait several months to ensure the eyes have stabilised before considering further interventions.
Non-surgical options for correcting residual prescriptions may include wearing glasses or contact lenses tailored to the remaining refractive error. These options provide temporary correction without the need for additional surgical procedures.
Factors influencing the success of correcting residual prescriptions include the accuracy of pre-operative assessments, the skill and experience of the surgeon, the patient's healing response, and adherence to post-operative care instructions.
In some cases, residual prescriptions may worsen over time due to natural changes in the eyes or other factors. Regular eye exams are important for monitoring any changes in vision and addressing them promptly to maintain optimal visual acuity.
