Keratoconus is a progressive eye disorder characterized by the thinning and bulging of the cornea into a cone-like shape, leading to distorted vision. Early detection and management, often involving contact lenses or surgical interventions, are crucial to prevent significant visual impairment.
Corneal curvature refers to the shape and steepness of the cornea, which plays a critical role in focusing light onto the retina and is essential for clear vision. Variations in Corneal curvature can lead to refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, and are important considerations in contact lens fitting and refractive surgery.
Corneal irregularities refer to any abnormality in the shape or surface of the cornea, impacting its ability to properly refract light and potentially leading to visual disturbances. These irregularities can result from conditions such as keratoconus, corneal scars, or post-surgical complications, and may require corrective measures like specialized contact lenses or surgical interventions.
Corneal disorders encompass a range of conditions affecting the cornea, the eye's outermost layer, which can lead to vision impairment if not properly managed. These disorders can arise from infections, injuries, degenerative conditions, or genetic factors, requiring diverse treatment approaches from medication to surgical intervention.
