Keratoconus: When the Cornea Becomes Thin and Irregular •Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition in which the normally round cornea becomes thin and bulges outward into a cone-like shape, leading to distorted and blurred vision. •This irregular shape prevents light from focusing properly on the retina, causing symptoms such as• increasing sensitivity to light, •frequent changes in eyeglass prescription, •glare, and •difficulty seeing clearly, •especially at night. •The exact cause is not always known, but factors like genetics, excessive eye rubbing, and certain underlying conditions may contribute. •It often begins in the teenage years or early adulthood and gradually worsens over time. •At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, our specialists use advanced corneal imaging to detect keratoconus early. •Treatment options may include specialized contact lenses, corneal collagen cross-linking to strengthen the cornea, or surgical procedures in advanced cases. •Early diagnosis and proper management can help preserve vision and slow the progression of the condition. #Keratoconus #EyeCare #HealthyVision #PaavaiEyeCare 👁️✨
