Understanding Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a non-inflammatory eye condition that gradually weakens the cornea, causing it to bulge outward like a cone. This distortion affects the way light enters the eye, leading to blurred or distorted vision. While the exact cause remains unknown, factors like genetics and environmental allergies may contribute to its development.
Symptoms of Keratoconus
Early signs of keratoconus often go unnoticed, making regular eye exams crucial. Common symptoms include:
Blurred or distorted vision
Increased sensitivity to light
Frequent changes in prescription
Halos or glare around lights
Difficulty driving at night
