What is Keratoconus? The condition in which the clear tissue on the front of the eye (cornea) bulges outward. This affects your ability to focus, making your vision blurry or distorted. Its cause is unknown. Primarily symptoms first appear during puberty or the late teens, and in addition to blurred vision, keratoconus can cause sensitivity, redness and swelling, contact lenses to fit improperly, corneal bulging, and swelling or scarring of the cornea. Keratoconus usually affects both eyes, and the associated symptoms make daily tasks such as reading and driving extremely difficult. Currently, advanced cases frequently require a cornea transplant as the only treatment option. KeraNatural offers an alternative to full penetrating corneal transplants, and a natural option to other available treatments. When it comes to Keratoconus, KeraNatural is the clear choice for corneal contouring. Learn more at: www.keranatural.org #KeraNatural #Keratoconus #CAIRS
