The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped front layer of the eye that helps focus light and provides clear vision. Any damage or irregularity in the cornea can lead to blurred or distorted vision. Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition in which the cornea becomes thin and bulges outward into a cone-like shape, causing distorted vision. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are essential to prevent vision deterioration.
Keratoconus usually develops during teenage years or early adulthood and may gradually worsen over time. It affects the cornea’s ability to focus light properly, leading to poor vision quality.

- Increased sensitivity to light
- Frequent change in glasses number
