Why early detection changes the plan
Keratoconus progresses most often in the teenage years and twenties. When it is detected early on corneal topography, cross-linking may be advised with the aim of limiting progression before vision is significantly affected.
Eye rubbing matters
Persistent eye rubbing, frequently linked to allergy, is strongly associated with keratoconus progression. Treating the underlying allergy is part of care.
