VISUAL REHABILITATION
We have a tradition of obtaining excellent results in the visual rehabilitation of patients with different visual and therapeutic needs. The fitting of special lenses in keratoconus from initial to advanced and even extreme cases is the most frequent reason why patients seek IOSB.
With more than 50 years of expertise and experience treating patients with keratoconus, we have the know-how to provide peace of mind and accurate information to patients and their families. The best alternatives for the visual rehabilitation of the patient for keratoconus are presented, when necessary, the adaptation of special rigid gas permeable lenses or scleral lenses, with excellent results in the vast majority of cases.
