Astigmatism VS Keratoconus
Date: 2024-03-28 13:30:19
Do you know the difference between astigmatism and keratoconus?
Though similar in some ways, they are two distinct corneal conditions:
#astigmatism is when the cornea becomes slightly misshapen or curved, resulting in blurred vision. It RARELY progresses at a rapid rate.
#keratoconus or KC, is when the cornea thins over time, forming a cone-like shape. This may cause extreme blurred vision, extreme levels of glare, and frequent prescription changes. Rapid disease progression is also possible.
