Keratoconus Causes

Beverly Hills, California

The cause is unknown. Keratoconus is more common in contact lens wearers and people with nearsighted eyes. Some researchers believe that allergies may play a role.

Complications

Patients with keratoconus should not have laser vision correction. Corneal topography is usually done before laser vision correction to rule out people with this condition.

Calling your health care provider

Young persons whose vision cannot be corrected to 20/20 with glasses should be evaluated by an eye doctor experienced with keratoconus.

Prevention There are no preventive measures. Some specialists believe that patients with keratoconus should have aggressive treatment for ocular allergies and should be instructed not to rub their eyes.

If you are interested in keratoconus but are unsure which treatment is best for you, call or email to schedule your consultation with Dr. Khanna at the Khanna Institute today.
