What is keratoconus?
Keratoconus is a progressive condition where the cornea, the clear front surface of your eye, thins and bulges into a cone shape. This irregular shape interferes with the eye’s ability to focus properly, causing blurry or distorted vision.
Keratoconus occurs in approximately 1 in 2,000 individuals and often starts in the teen years or early adulthood.¹ If left untreated, it may worsen over time. Our keratoconus specialist near you can evaluate your corneal shape and thickness to determine if you’re showing signs of the condition.
Symptoms of keratoconus
Keratoconus symptoms often develop gradually. You may notice:
- Blurry or distorted vision
- Increased light sensitivity
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Frequent changes in your glasses or contact lenses prescription
- Halos or glare around lights
- Eye strain or discomfort
If you notice any of these changes, schedule a comprehensive eye exam to rule out or confirm keratoconus.
Keratoconus treatment & management
Effective keratoconus treatment depends on how advanced the condition is. In mild cases, glasses or soft contact lenses may help correct vision. As keratoconus progresses, many patients benefit from specialty contact lenses such as scleral, rigid gas permeable, or hybrid lenses.
A contact lens exam allows us to precisely fit you with the right specialty contact lenses to match the shape of your cornea. Using advanced corneal mapping technology, we measure the curvature and thickness of your cornea in detail. This allows us to design fully customizable lenses that provide a smoother optical surface, better comfort, and clearer vision for keratoconus.
In some cases, we may recommend advanced treatments such as corneal cross-linking to strengthen the corneal structure and slow the progression of the condition. Whenever necessary, we work closely with local surgeons to arrange treatments.
