EYE DISEASES
Keratoconus
The front part of the eye, which lies over the colored iris, is called the cornea. Sometimes a portion of the cornea will thin. Normal fluid pressure within the eye causes that part of the cornea to bulge outward. The cornea then takes on a conical shape instead of the normal shape. This produces vision changes that cannot be corrected by glasses or soft contact lenses. Rigid gas permeable contact lenses are usually fit for these cases and provide a very good quality of vision.
