What does Keratoconus do in the child's eye and what are its causes

Pediatric Eye Clinic

The progression of Keratoconus deforms the cornea of ​​the eye, making the normal spherical shape become conical, and its progression results in partial or total loss of vision. This is caused by the formation of irregular astigmatism that progresses and deteriorates abnormally, and in more severe cases by scarring of the cornea.

What are your causes?

The specific causes of Keratoconus are unknown, it is attributed to genetic factors and diseases related to collagen, skin conditions, some types of allergies that cause the patient to continually rub their eyes and congenital diseases such as Down syndrome. In any case, the most important thing, as in all degenerative diseases, is to be able to detect it in time and start treatment early.
