Keratoconus Index

Featured: Keratoconus Main Article

Keratoconus is a condition in which the cornea bulges outward like a cone. The cause of the condition is unknown, but genetics may play a role. Changes in the shape of the cornea make it difficult for the eyes to focus. Keratoconus is diagnosed by having an eye exam. Treatment involves wearing glasses or contact lenses.
