Keratoconus symptoms

Keratoconus does grow, but usually very slowly. It can also halt at any stage: moderate or serious. As the affliction progresses, the cornea becomes more and more swollen.

Subjective keratoconus symptoms:

• Rapidly growing astigmatism and myopia in a single eye
• Rapidly progressing blurring, image distortion in a single eye
• Halo effect around light sources
• Image blurring
• Multiple vision
• Vision reterioration at night
• Photophobia (hypersensitivity to light) Itching and red eye, frequent rubbing of the eyes
• Rarely the first symptom is a so called „acute cone” – sudden blurred vision and eye pain, which can remain for weeks
