Depending on the severity of your condition and how quickly it is progressing, you may need different treatments to slow down the disease and improve your vision.

Keratoconus can cause significant distortion of vision, nearsightedness, irregular astigmatism, ghosting with multiple images, glare and light sensitivity.

Keratoconus usually affects both eyes, though it often affects one eye more than the other. It generally begins to affect people between the ages of 10 and 25 and may progress slowly for 10 years or longer.

Keratoconus is a disorder of the eye that results in progressive thinning of the cornea, which is the clear, dome-shaped front surface of your eye. This causes your cornea to bulge outward into a cone shape, which distorts your vision and makes you more sensitive to light and glare.
