With keratoconus, the cornea thins and bulges out like a cone, affecting vision.
Keratoconus treatment depends on your symptoms. With mild symptoms, eyeglasses can correct your vision. With more severe symptoms, there are other treatment options that can include hard contact lenses, medication or surgery. In some cases, a cornea transplant may be needed.
With keratoconus, it is important to see your ophthalmologist regularly to check for eye and vision changes.
If you have any questions about your eyes or your vision, speak with your ophthalmologist. They are committed to protecting your sight.
