Early symptoms of keratoconus?

summary

Keratoconus is characterized by corneal dilation. If patients feel unwell, they should go to the hospital immediately for diagnosis and treatment. Usually, the central corneal protrusion forms a cone, which leads to different ophthalmic problems such as highly irregular myopia and astigmatism. It mostly occurs around puberty. In the late stage, corneal edema may appear, and then form scars, which will cause serious damage to vision. Today let me learn the early symptoms of keratoconus with you?.

Early symptoms of keratoconus?

First, anterior keratoconus. The main manifestation of this early stage is ametropia, and then the naked eye vision decreased. At the beginning, it was only simple myopia, and then gradually developed to regular or irregular astigmatism. If corneal topography is used, early lesions can be found.

Second: posterior keratoconus. The majority of people think that this is a congenital anomaly, more common in women, the general monocular disease, corneal posterior cone-shaped protrusion, and then normal curvature, visual acuity is less than the damage of anterior keratoconus. In the early stage of observation under the microscope, the elastic membrane was broken and the cells flattened. At the later stage, the elastic layer ruptured and the corneal stroma edema was caused.

Third, Down syndrome. Down syndrome, also known as the congenital stupidity, is the most relevant chromosome disorder. The incidence rate is 7%, and the incidence rate is generally higher in adult.

matters needing attention

Keratoconus may also have many unknown precursors! So no matter what the situation, any eye problems, we must promptly go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis. So as not to delay the treatment time and cause irreversible damage!
