Keratoconus :: when the eye's cornea is cone-shaped instead of round, the light entering the eye is unable to focus correctly and vision is distorted. Eyes may also be sensitive to light and glare. Usually becoming apparent during teen years, Keratoconus may progress 10-20 years, causing the cornea to bulge more and vision to become worse. Eyeglasses or soft contact lenses can help correct nearsightedness and astigmatism caused by keratocous. In later stages, rigid gas permeable contact lenses can be prescribed and carefully fitted to achieve adequate vision. In worst cases, a corneal transplant is necessary. If you think you may be developing Keratoconus, call Vision Care Service today to schedule an appointment.
