The cornea
The clear front window of the eye
Keratoconus is an eye condition in which the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, gradually becomes thinner and bulges into a cone-like shape.
This change can affect how light enters the eye, causing blurred or distorted vision. The condition may affect each eye differently and can progress over time.
At a glance
Common symptoms may include:
These symptoms may also occur with other eye conditions. A clinical assessment is needed to identify the cause.
Consider arranging an eye examination if you experience persistent blurred vision, distorted vision or frequent changes in your prescription.
An ophthalmologist may recommend further assessment if keratoconus is suspected or if there are signs that the cornea’s shape is changing.
The appropriate management plan depends on the severity of the condition, its progression and your individual visual needs.
