Keratoconus is a condition in which the cornea changes shape, leading to blurry or distorted vision. Because it often develops slowly and without early symptoms, regular eye exams can help detect changes early.
With the right care—like glasses or specialty contact lenses—we can help you manage your vision. In more advanced cases, we can refer you for corneal crosslinking.
We’re here to guide you and answer your questions every step of the way.
Keratoconus occurs when the normally round cornea thins and bulges outward in a cone-like shape, making it harder to see clearly.
Symptoms may include:
Managing keratoconus looks different for everyone, and treatment depends on how advanced the condition is.
Early on, vision may be corrected with glasses or soft contact lenses, while more advanced cases often need specialty lenses for clearer, more comfortable sight. When appropriate, we also refer patients for procedures like corneal crosslinking.
At Stanislaus Vision Associates, we offer a range of options for keratoconus care:
For early keratoconus, glasses can sharpen vision and reduce distortion caused by changes in the cornea. We offer a wide selection of frames and lenses to fit your style and visual needs.
In early stages of keratoconus, soft lenses sometimes offer improved comfort and clarity. A contact lens exam can help determine if this might be the case.
In more advanced cases, we often recommend scleral lenses. These larger lenses vault over the cornea, creating a smooth surface for sharper vision and comfort.
