Keratoconus
What is Keratoconus?
Keratoconus is an eye condition that causes the cornea to become progressively thinner. A normal cornea is round or spherical in shape, but with keratoconus the cornea bulges forward, assuming more of a cone shape. As light enters the cone shaped cornea it is bent and distorted and unable to come to a point of clear focus on the light-sensitive retina.
Keratoconus usually affects both eyes but the two eyes often progress at different rates. This disease typically begins during teenage years. In most patients, it progresses for several years before stabilizing in the third to fourth decade of life. In severe cases it can continue to worsen. In these cases the cornea continues to thin and bulge outward, further blurring vision. Scarring of the cornea can also develop.
Symptoms Of Keratoconus:
- Bulging, cone-shaped cornea
- Nearsightedness
- Astigmatism
- Glare and light sensitivity
- The need for frequent prescription changes
Who Is At Risk:
Researchers believe that approximately 3 million people worldwide have keratoconus. It affects males and females of all races throughout the world. The causes are still being researched, but the likelihood of developing keratoconus is greater if you:
- have a relative with keratoconus
- have had excessive laser eye surgery
- have hay fever, eczema, asthma or food allergies
