Overview

The transparent, dome-shaped glass in front of your eye is called the cornea. Light is focused into your eye by it. When the cornea thins out and enlarges into a cone shape, it is known as keratoconus. When the cornea's shape is altered, light beams go out of focus. Your vision becomes distorted and fuzzy as a result, making it challenging to do regular duties like driving or reading.

Causes

The cause of keratoconus is idiopathic; it may be due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors, with seven percent of affected individuals having a family history of keratoconus, along with other causes including rubbing the eyes and allergies.

Symptoms

Keratoconus symptoms include 

• Blurred or distorted vision

• Double vision 

• Increased sensitivity to bright light

• Night driving issues due to bright light and glare 

• Frequent eye power changes 

• Sudden clouding of vision.
