What is Keratoconus and how do we treat the Cornea?

The cornea is the transparent window of the eye. In Keratoconus, it thins and takes on a cone shape, causing severely distorted vision that does not improve with conventional eyeglasses. At Clínica Boyd, we combine 3D mapping technology with cutting-edge surgical and optical treatments to halt progression and restore clarity.

Patient Process

A millimeter-precise analysis to design the exact treatment your cornea needs.

1
Elevation Topography (Pentacam)
Complete mapping of the anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea to detect keratoconus in its initial stages.
2
Rigidity Measurement (Pachymetry)
We evaluate corneal thickness to determine if the patient is a candidate for Crosslinking or Rings.
3
Optical-Surgical Plan
We define whether management will be clinical, through special contact lenses, or surgical intervention.
