Keratoconus may cause legal blindness, which can greatly impact your quality of life. Those with keratoconus can experience a gradual decline in vision, even when wearing corrective eyewear or contact lenses if tolerated. The progression of the disease can make it difficult to participate in certain activities, making it necessary to undergo treatment. Intacs can eliminate the need for future corneal implants. Other notable symptoms of keratoconus include:
Blurred vision
Eye redness
Trouble seeing at night or in environments with poor lighting
Worsening refractive errors, including nearsightedness or astigmatism
Sensitivity to light
Distorted vision
Intolerance to contact lenses.
