Understanding Keratoconus with Dr. Cohen
Keratoconus is a progressive condition that affects the shape of the cornea, causing it to thin and bulge into a cone-like shape. This irregularity can make vision blurry, distorted, and difficult to correct with standard glasses or contact lenses.
Symptoms of keratoconus may include:
- Blurry or distorted vision
- Increased sensitivity to light and glare
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Frequent changes in your eyeglass prescription
Early detection and personalized management are key to protecting your vision and maintaining comfort.
If you’re noticing blurry or distorted vision, increased sensitivity to light, or frequent changes in your eyeglass prescription, it is important to act early. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Gavin Cohen at Oculare to assess your eyes and explore personalized treatment options.

Our Diagnostic Tools
Our office uses innovative technology to measure corneal shape and thickness accurately, including:
- Corneal topography for precise mapping of corneal curvature
- Specialized measurements to fit custom scleral and soft lenses
These tools allow us to select the best lens or treatment option and track changes over time.
How We Manage Keratoconus
At Oculare Personalized Eye Care, we use personalized diagnostics to understand the exact shape and condition of your cornea. From there, we develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs:
- Scleral lenses: Custom scleral lenses vault over the irregular cornea, providing a smooth optical surface and exceptional visual clarity. They also protect the eye surface and improve comfort, making them the preferred option for moderate to advanced keratoconus.
- Soft contact lenses: Specialized soft lenses are an option for mild keratoconus. They provide better comfort than traditional lenses and can help correct vision when the corneal changes are less severe.
- Glasses: In early or mild cases, glasses may be sufficient to provide clear vision. We evaluate whether prescription lenses can meet your visual needs without causing strain or discomfort.
- Referral for Corneal Cross-Linking: For patients who require corneal stabilization, we coordinate with trusted surgical specialists for corneal cross-linking. This procedure strengthens the cornea and helps slow the progression of keratoconus.
Personalized Care with Dr. Cohen
Dr. Cohen works closely with each patient to check that their vision is optimized and their eyes are protected. Whether your treatment plan involves specialty lenses, glasses, or collaboration with a surgical specialist, our approach is tailored to your unique eyes and lifestyle.
Managing keratoconus early can make a meaningful difference in your long-term vision and comfort. Schedule a consultation at Oculare Personalized Eye Care to explore the full range of treatment options and find the solution that works best for you.
