Q. I have keratoconus in my right eye. Shall I go for C3R?
Hi doctor,
Recently, I was diagnosed with keratoconus. I did not use any spectacle. I used to see little blur mostly in the evening. My left eye is normal, but my right eye is most affected. I have attached one file. Please go through the file for the reference of my eye standards. Six months ago, I went for corneal topography test. Shall I go for C3R? Or should I look for any other options?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through the records that you have sent (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
- First thing is that you need to confirm the diagnosis of keratoconus. From your explanation, I feel you do not have keratoconus.
- Please describe what problems you have and how it started.
- Did you use glasses or contact lenses before? Did you have any allergic eye problems? Do you have any family history of high power glasses or eye problems?
- Also share the pictures of your eyes and old records for more clear diagnosis and treatment.

Hi doctor,
I went for normal eye checkup. I did not use any spectacles before. Doctor performed topography and told I have keratoconus. I do not have blurred images, but I see ghost images that too mostly at night.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- As you do not have any symptoms and you have good vision with or without glasses, most probably you do not have keratoconus.
- Mild amount of irregularities are common on topography. Everyone need not worry and treatment is required only in severe and progressive cases.
- You can send pictures of topography and old records for me to analyze that.
