How to suspect Keratoconus?

  • Nearsightedness- Also known as myopia, this is the inability to see distant objects clearly i.e. Road signs or billboards, whereas your ability to read a paper or computer screen clearly is preserved. Due to the inability to focus light myopia is a hallmark feature in keratoconus.
  • Astigmatism –This is the blurring of vision at all distances. The light focused through the eye fail to come to a single focus on the retina which can be compared to the antenna of a television. If the antenna does not receive a clear focus signal the television becomes blurred as is the case in astigmatism.
  • Glare & Flare- due to the disturbances in the amount of light entering the cornea, individuals with keratoconus tend to experience high sensitivity to bright lights, especially at night time. This becomes a significant problem for those who drive at night, as due to the excessive glare of street lights and the lights of incoming vehicles the eyes tend to get tired easily leading to the risk of driving without accurate sight.
  • Frequent changes in lens prescriptions – this is the commonest reason why Keratoconus is detected. Patients tend to notice that they have to change prescriptions for normal spectacles more frequently as they experience blurred and distorted vision even with new spectacles after a short period of time or having to convert to contact lenses as spectacles cannot correct the vision. Upon examination by an Ophthalmologist or skilled Optometrist, Keratoconus is detected.

How to stop rubbing eyes?

When people rub their eyes they are doing damage to the most important sensory organ in their body. The skin of the eyelids is the thinnest skin in the body. This skin does not do well with constant trauma. "Pigmentary changes (darkening of the skin) and loss of retro-orbital fat can lead to an unwanted facial appearance." Rubbing the eyes fractures mast cells, which resemble tiny raspberries, with each saccule containing the chemicals histamine, heparin, and serotonin. Histamine makes eyes itch, heparin makes the eyes red, and serotonin keeps the inflammation going. "The actual rubbing puts pressure on the eye sometimes up to 60mm Hg, which results in an immediate decrease of the itch response." "But minutes later it returns, often more intensely." Additionally, eye rubbing inflames the ocular surface, which can make any inflammatory ocular surface disease, such as dry eye, worse. Although the exact mechanism by which eye rubbing impacts   k...
