What is Keratoconus?
- Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease where the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) thins and bulges outward into a cone shape.
- This irregular shape distorts vision and often cannot be corrected with traditional glasses or soft contact lenses.
In advanced cases, surgical options may be considered to slow the progression or restore visual function.
