Keratoconus anyone?
Within the last year I have been seeing an eye doctor about my eyes. My vision went from perfect, to ok, to worse in about a year and a half. I have steep corneas, and the doctor said it's to early to diagnose, but it could develope into keratoconus. He let us know I might have that, or I might just have steep corneas. My question...If you're a person who has, had, or knows someone with keratoconus, how did you or they see? What was difficult to read? Do you or did you have problems with light? I'de like to compare my vision to others to see if that's the direction my eyes are going in...Thanks!

My response will not address your concerns but I would like to comment. In order to better diagnose whether or not you have keratoconus you need to look at more than whether the curvatures of you cornea are steep. I would recommend you have a corneal topography performed. This test allows the doctor to map out in detail the exact topography (shape) or your cornea. Corneas with keratoconus tend to have a characteristic corneal topography. Keratoconus tends to cause a steeping in the cornea in the bottom 1/3 centrally located. This steepening is also associated with irregularity and thinning of the cornea over the steepened area. So, I would recommend going to see a corneal specialist and having him perform these tests. Hope this helped.
