“With vision there is no room to be frightened. No reason for intimidation.” - Charles R Swindoll
Keratoconus is a condition where the cornea (ball shaped, clear, frontal part of the eye) is unable to hold its round form and starts to bulge forward like a cone.
Keratoconus is a condition that can run in families, it is therefore a good idea to have your children’s eyes tested by the age of 10 if it is in your family. Continuous eye rubbing, certain allergies or some medical conditions can be a cause of Keratoconus.
Signs to look out for are blurred vision, glare and halos at night.
Neloptics’ way of managing it
If Keratoconus is extended normal spectacles doesn’t give the patient 100% vision anymore and the patient must switch to specialised contact lenses that helps to reshape the cornea and stabilises its form.
