Keratoconus:
A Closer Look at This Corneal Condition

Keratoconus is a progressive eye disease characterized by the thinning and bulging of the cornea into a cone-like shape. This distortion leads to visual impairment, including blurred vision and sensitivity to light. The condition typically begins in the teenage years or early twenties and can progress over time. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to slowing its progression and preserving vision. At Advanced Eyecare Optometric Center, we prioritize early intervention, employing cutting-edge diagnostic tools to detect keratoconus in its initial stages and implement effective treatment strategies.
