What Is Keratoconus and How We Use Scleral Lenses to Correct Vision?
The dome-shaped, transparent layer at the front of your eye is known as the cornea. The cornea helps you see by focusing light into your eye. Sometimes, the cornea bulges out like a cone and becomes thinner. This condition is called keratoconus. By changing the shape of the cornea, keratoconus bends light rays out of focus, distorting and blurring your vision. This problem can make many regular daily tasks such as driving and reading difficult.
