Hello
Keratoconus is a degenerative disease characterized by progressive thinning of thecornea.
The treatment to arrest progression is corneal collagen cross linking and it costs around Rs. 20,000.
The other options available are insertion of keraflex rings or intra corneal ring segments which costs around Rs.70,000.
The treatment depends on the progression and stage of the disease.
Thank you
