An annual eye exam is important for long-term eye health. Today, we focus attention on keratoconus and ectatic corneal disorders. Keratoconus (KC) is a degenerative condition of the eye in which the normally round, dome-shaped cornea becomes progressively thinner. This causes a cone-like bulge to develop in the area where the cornea is thinnest, usually in the center. If left untreated, keratoconus can cause significant visual impairment and legal blindness.
