Cornea & Keratoconus Surgery in Delhi

In this video, Dr. Sucheta Kaul Gugnani, Cornea, Cataract, and Refractive Surgeon at Eye7 Daryaganj, explains an important but often overlooked fact: 👉 Collagen Cross-Linking (CXL) is usually NOT recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Keratoconus is a condition where the cornea gradually becomes thinner and bulges outward, leading to reduced vision. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, hormonal changes can temporarily affect corneal shape and stability, sometimes causing fluctuations or progression. Because of this: →Vision may feel unstable during pregnancy →Keratoconus may appear to worsen temporarily →Immediate intervention is not always the best approach Doctors usually recommend: ✓Regular monitoring and follow-up ✓Waiting for 2–4 months after delivery or breastfeeding, until hormone levels stabilize ✓Re-evaluating progression before planning CXL The video also demonstrates how collagen cross-linking is performed: •Removal of the corneal epithelium •Application of riboflavin drops •Controlled UV light exposure to strengthen the cornea •Placement of a protective contact lens You’ll also hear real patient experiences, highlighting the importance of correct timing and expert guidance. 👉 The key message: Do not rush treatment during pregnancy — timing matters for both safety and results. ⍟ ⍟ ⍟ 👨‍⚕️ABOUT THE SURGEON - DR.
