What is Keratoconus?
Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the normally round cornea thins and bulges into a cone-like shape. This irregular shape distorts vision, causing blurred and fluctuating eyesight, sensitivity to light, and difficulty with night vision. Left untreated, it can lead to significant visual impairment.
Symptoms of Keratoconus
- Blurry or distorted vision
- Increased sensitivity to light and glare
- Frequent changes in eyeglass prescriptions
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Eye strain and discomfort
