Keratoconus

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that causes the cornea to become thin and bulge into a cone shape. It typically affects both eyes and usually begins during the teenage years or early adulthood. People with keratoconus may experience blurry or distorted vision, increased sensitivity to light, and difficulty driving at night. The exact cause of keratoconus is unknown, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Treatment options for keratoconus include the use of special contact lenses, such as rigid gas permeable lenses, to improve vision. In more severe cases, corneal transplant surgery may be necessary. Regular eye exams are important for detecting keratoconus early and managing its progression.
