Keratoconus is a relatively rare eye condition that affects approximately 1 in 2,000 people worldwide, including a significant number in India.
It typically manifests during teenage years and progresses gradually, causing thinning and bulging of the cornea, leading to visual distortions. Keratoconus is characterized by the progressive thinning and cone-like bulging of the cornea, altering its normal shape. This structural change distorts vision by causing astigmatism and irregularities that cannot be corrected by glasses alone.

What Keratoconus Vision Looks Like
Understanding the Triggers
- Family history of keratoconus can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
- Frequent and vigorous eye rubbing is associated with the progression of keratoconus.
- Conditions such as Down syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and other connective tissue disorders can contribute to the development of keratoconus.
- Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun and chronic eye irritation may play a role in triggering keratoconus.
- Chronic eye inflammation due to allergies or irritants can weaken the corneal structure, leading to keratoconus.
