However the truth is the treatments for Keratoconus have come a long way over the years. And the treatment of corneal transplants isn’t as for sure as it used to be. There are several new treatments for Keratoconus that are making great strides in improving the quality of vision for those who suffer from Keratoconus and 90% of the time loss of vision is not an inevitability.
The key now to saving the sufferers sight is simply early detection. There are several eye surgeons that can help you with early detection. But knowing the signs and reporting them to your eye care professionals is the first step you can do on your own. Below are some of the signs of Keratoconus:

If you have any of the above symptoms it is important that you report them to your current eye care provider. They can provide you with a diagnosis if necessary.
