2023年4月5日 · Keratoconus (ker-uh-toe-KOH-nus) is an eye condition in which your cornea — the clear, dome-shaped front of your eye — gets thinner and gradually bulges outward into a cone shape. A cone-shaped cornea causes blurred vision and may cause sensitivity to light and glare.

Keratoconus is the most common corneal ectatic disorder where the central or paracentral cornea undergoes progressive thinning and steepening causing high irregular astigmatism and poor quality of vision.

Keratoconus is a condition of the eye in which the normally rounded cornea bulges outward into a cone shape. The cornea is the clear, central part of the front surface of the eye. It protects your eye and helps you focus for clear vision. You pronounce keratoconus as care-ah-ta-KO-nus. Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center.

2024年10月31日 · Keratoconus is when the cornea thins out and bulges like a cone. Changing the shape of the cornea brings light rays out of focus. As a result, your vision is blurry and distorted, making daily tasks like reading or driving difficult.

2024年11月13日 · Keratoconus is a condition in which your eye's cornea is unable to hold its round shape. This can make your vision less clear. WebMD explains how to recognize and treat the condition.

2023年4月5日 · Generally, there are two approaches to treating keratoconus: slowing the progression of the disease and improving vision. If keratoconus is progressing, corneal collagen cross-linking may be indicated to slow it or stop it from getting worse. This treatment aims to stabilize the structure of the cornea.

Keratoconus is an eye disease that affects the structure of the cornea, resulting in loss of vision. Keratoconus occurs in approximately one in 2,000 individuals, typically beginning in puberty and progressing into the mid-30s.

2024年4月12日 · Keratoconus is a progressive bilateral corneal ectatic disorder characterized by cone-like steepening of the cornea. This disorder is one of the leading indications for corneal transplantation in Western countries and can be associated with other medical conditions.

2024年5月15日 · Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that affects the shape of the cornea, leading to distorted and blurred vision. It typically develops during adolescence or early adulthood and can worsen over time if left untreated.

Keratoconus (KCN) is a disease characterized by thinning and protrusion of the cornea, resulting in an irregular, conical shape (Figure 1 and 2). Irregular astigmatism occurs as the keratoconus progresses, and results in blurred vision, which can be impossible to correct with spectacles.
