Keratoconus
Keratoconus is an irregular protrusion of the cornea. Cornea is similar, structurally, to the crystal of a watch. If this crystal or windowpane is not smooth, the light will not bend evenly and an irregular image will be formed. Like looking through a bumpy piece of glass.Keratoconus is a slowly progressive condition often presenting in the teen or early twenties with decreased vision or visual distortion. As this disease progresses, vision will no longer be correctable with glasses.
The treatment options are: contact lenses wear, Intra Corneal Rings surgery (INTACS) or corneal transplantation, lamellar or penetrating.
