What Is Keratoconus?
Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that affects the shape of the cornea. Instead of maintaining a smooth, round surface, the cornea gradually thins and begins to bulge outward into a cone-like shape.
This irregular shape prevents light from focusing properly on the retina, which leads to distorted and blurred vision.
Keratoconus often develops during the teenage years or early adulthood and may continue to progress over time if left untreated.
Symptoms of Keratoconus
Symptoms can vary depending on the stage of the condition. In early stages, changes may be subtle. As Keratoconus progresses, vision may become more noticeably distorted. Common symptoms include:
- Blurry or distorted vision
- Increased sensitivity to light
- Frequent changes in prescription
- Difficulty seeing clearly with glasses
- Halos or ghosting, especially at night
If your vision feels inconsistent or difficult to correct, a comprehensive eye exam can help determine the cause.
Who is at Risk of developing keratoconus?
The exact cause of Keratoconus is not fully understood, but several factors may increase the likelihood of developing the condition:
- Genetics: A family history of keratoconus may increase risk.
- Eye Rubbing: Frequent or aggressive eye rubbing can weaken the cornea.
- Allergies and Eye Irritation: Chronic irritation may play a role in progression.
Keratoconus is most commonly diagnosed in teenagers and young adults, which makes early detection especially important.
Keratoconus Treatments We Offer
Keratoconus cannot be reversed, but it can be effectively managed with the right treatment. The goal is to improve vision clarity, stabilize progression, and enhance daily comfort.
Specialty Contact Lenses
Standard glasses and contact lenses often cannot correct the cornea's irregular shape. Specialty lenses are designed to create a smooth optical surface.
Scleral lenses are one of the most effective treatment options for keratoconus. These larger-diameter lenses rest on the white part of the eye and vault over the cornea, creating a smooth surface for light to focus properly.
Co-Managed Advanced Care
For patients with progressive or advanced keratoconus, additional treatment may be recommended. We coordinate care with eye specialists.
These may include:
- Corneal Cross-Linking: A procedure that helps strengthen the cornea.
- Surgical Options: In advanced cases, procedures such as corneal transplants may be considered.
