Although these lenses do not cure keratoconus, they help improve vision significantly.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RGP or Rigid gas permeable contact lenses<\/strong> &#8211; These are hard contact lenses designed to fit over the distorted cornea.

These lenses have a larger diameter, and they sit on the sclera (the white part of the eye) and do not touch the corneal surface. Comfortable to wear, they may give desired vision clarity to patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Progressive_Keratoconus_Corneal_Collagen_Cross-Linking_C3R\"><\/span>Progressive Keratoconus: Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking (C3R)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"825\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Progressive-Keratoconus-Corneal-Collagen-Cross-Linking-C3R-825x1024.webp\" alt=\"Progressive Keratoconus Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking (C3R)\" class=\"wp-image-10450\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.8055657268399854;width:655px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Progressive-Keratoconus-Corneal-Collagen-Cross-Linking-C3R-825x1024.webp 825w, https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Progressive-Keratoconus-Corneal-Collagen-Cross-Linking-C3R-242x300.webp 242w, https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Progressive-Keratoconus-Corneal-Collagen-Cross-Linking-C3R-768x953.webp 768w, https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Progressive-Keratoconus-Corneal-Collagen-Cross-Linking-C3R.webp 928w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Visual Representation of Progressive Keratoconus: Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking (C3R)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>C3R or Corneal Cross-Linking (CXL):<\/strong> It is the most effective and scientifically proven treatment if keratoconus is progressing.
