What is Keratoconus?
Keratoconus is a disorder that occurs when the cornea, which is typically rounded, becomes cone-shaped. The progression is usually slow and can stop at any stage from mild to severe. This distortion increases as the cornea bulges and thins. The apex of the cornea often scars, reducing the vision.
Treatment
Treatment of Keratoconus is very effective with gas permeable or “hard” contact lenses, designed specifically for your eyes. If contact lens treatment is not successful, surgical corneal transplant may be necessary.
