Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that affects the cornea - the clear, dome-shaped surface at the front of the eye responsible for focusing light. In people with keratoconus, the cornea gradually thins and begins to bulge into a cone-like shape, causing vision to become distorted. Understanding the symptoms and getting regular eye exams are essential to detecting this condition early and preserving clear vision.

Myopia is one of the most common vision conditions in children and young adults. What makes myopia especially concerning is how easily it can progress without obvious warning signs. In many cases, children adapt to subtle vision changes, and parents may not realize their child’s eyesight is worsening until it begins to affect schoolwork, sports, or daily activities.

Glaucoma is often referred to as the “silent thief of sight” because it can gradually damage your vision without noticeable symptoms in its early stages.
