Keratoconus: Symptoms, Causes & Treatments

Updated: Nov 14, 2023

Keratoconus is a diagnosis indicating the eye’s cornea is thinner and has changed shape from round to more of a cone-like curve. The cornea is an essential part of the eye’s anatomy. Its job is to focus light on an area at the rear of the eye - called the retina. The light focuses on a single point when the cornea is healthy and round. However, a conical shape causes the light to focus on more than one point, leading to issues with vision and requiring treatment.


Like most issues affecting eye health and vision, an eye exam is the only way to diagnose and treat keratoconus accurately.
