What is Keratoconus Symptoms and Treatment
Keratoconus is a disease of the cornea in which a normally round, dome-shaped cornea progressively thins, causing a cone-shaped bulge to develop.
The normal eye pressure pushing out on the thinned areas of the cornea causes the cone-shaped protrusion. The irregular shape of the cornea can cause decrease visual acuity, which may not be correctable with corrective lenses in severe keratoconus.
