Keratoconus is a progressive condition where the normally round cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, distorting vision. Modern treatments can stop progression — and often sharpen vision.
Your cornea is the clear dome at the front of your eye — it does most of the focusing work. In keratoconus, it gradually thins and bulges outward, creating an irregular shape that scatters light.
This usually starts in teens or twenties and can progress for years before stabilizing. The earlier we catch it, the better we can preserve — or even improve — your vision.
Seriously. Eye rubbing is the #1 modifiable risk factor for progression.
Strengthens the cornea with riboflavin and UV. A 1-hour in-office procedure.
Custom lenses that vault over the cornea, creating a perfectly smooth optical surface.
Tiny ring segments or, rarely, corneal transplant for severe scarring.
