Keratoconus treatments

Patients with keratoconus always have a cone-like cornea, which deflects light on its way to retina. In one or both eyes, keratoconus may cause vision distortion.

As a progressive eye disease, keratoconus develops slowly. Since the cornea is always thinning, nearsightedness and irregular astigmatism may develop at certain stages of keratoconus, bringing distorted and blurry vision. Other symptoms of keratoconus include glare, light sensitivity and changing prescription.
