In this case, you see near objects clearly, but distant objects will appear blurred. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.

Myopia occurs when the eyeball is too long, relative to the focusing power of the cornea and lens of the eye. This causes light rays to focus at a point in front of the retina, rather than directly on its surface. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and medication plan.

Usually, the progression of keratoconus occurs in the age of 40-45 years and then it gets stabilized. In some cases, the progression may even occur even after the age of 50. Fit is believed that progression of keratoconus usually occurs during the first 15-20 years after the onset of the disease.
Once your keratoconus has been stabilized, contact lenses can be a great option to achieve your best corrected vision.
You may discuss your issue in detail for further detailed consultation.

When the Collagen continues to weaken, the Keratoconus gets worse, and there are factors that contribute to this. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.
