Can You Feel Keratoconus

Individuals with keratoconus often experience near-sightedness, blurry vision, distorted images, and extreme glare when viewing lights, especially at night. The condition is usually not painful, but can have a significant impact on an individual’s visual acuity.

How do I know if I have keratoconus?

1. An abrupt change in vision.
2. Seeing triple or double ghost images.
3. Feeling uncomfortable driving at night because of blurry vision.
4. Streaking lights.
5. Objects far away as well as near appear to be distorted.
6. A sudden change in vision in one eye.

Is keratoconus noticeable?

Keratoconus is not usually visible to the naked eye until the later stages of the disease. In severe cases, the cone shape is visible to an observer when the patient looks down while the upper lid is lifted.
