According to researches, it has been shown that it
is possible to slow-down the worsening of keratoconus to some extent by making
some changes in our diet.
Keratoconus is a degenerative corneal disease caused by corneal thinning by the action of free radicals.
Since the patients suffering from keratoconus lack
the self defence system to fight with these harmful free radicals, generated
during the metabolism process. These free radicals cause harm to our body
cells. Antioxidants have the power to protect the cells from these harmful free
radicals.

The keratoconus due to other
causes like genetics, excessive eye rubbing and hormones cannot be treated with
diet.
Although food can play its role in slowing down the progression of
keratoconus but one must not depend only on diet treatment. It is essential to
visit your eye doctor time to time to accurately observe the progression if
any. On finding any progression, one must take preventive treatment like
corneal collagen crosslinking (C3R/CXL) as soon as possible to halt its
progression further.
