What is Keratoconus?
Keratoconus is a progressive eye disorder that distorts the cornea into a cone shape, causing vision impairment. Typically emerging in the late teens to early twenties, it can lead to significant visual distortion if left untreated.
Diagnosis and Symptoms
Early detection is crucial. Symptoms may include blurry vision, increased sensitivity to light, and frequent changes in prescription glasses or contact lenses. A comprehensive eye exam, including corneal mapping, aids in accurate diagnosis.
