UltraView XLINKING™
If you have heard of keratoconus treatment, you or someone you know is likely a sufferer. The UELC clinic is a leader in effectively treating keratoconus with the advanced UltraView XLINKING™ procedure.
Keratoconus is a degenerative eye disorder that causes thinning and cone-like steepening of the ordinarily dome-shaped cornea. This steepening results in distorted vision, increased sensitivity to glare and light, and reduced visual acuity. Once considered a relatively rare disorder, keratoconus is on the rise, now occurring in 1 in 500 people versus approximately 1 in 2000 in the past. However, the specific underlying causes of keratoconus remain unknown.
The weakening of the cornea in keratoconus patients is due to an imbalance of enzymes within the cornea itself, rendering the eye unable to fight off excess amounts of damaging ‘reactive species’ chemicals. Reactive species chemicals are essentially the free radicals you may have heard of in connection with anti-aging skin care products. Free radicals cause skin damage and are also the culprits behind oxidative damage to the cornea. Patients with keratoconus cannot sufficiently clear away the reactive species, leading to the toxic accumulation of the reactive species and eventual deterioration of the cornea from their buildup.
