Keratoconus is an eye condition that causes the cornea to gradually thin and change shape, leading to distorted or blurred vision that cannot always be corrected with standard glasses. This condition often begins in the teenage years or early adulthood and can progress over time.

Signs of Keratoconus
Keratoconus can develop gradually, which makes early detection especially important. Patients may notice changes in vision that seem difficult to correct with regular prescriptions. Common signs and symptoms include:
-
Blurred or distorted vision
-
Frequent changes in glasses or contact lens prescriptions
-
Increased sensitivity to light or glare
-
Ghosting or halos around lights
-
Difficulty seeing clearly at night
An eye exam allows our eye doctors to evaluate corneal shape and determine whether keratoconus may be present.
