The thinned cornea and abnormalities on the surface of the cornea are symptoms of keratoconus. The cornea is the front of your eye's transparent outer layer. The cornea's middle layer, its thickest layer, is primarily composed of water and protein collagen. The cornea is made of collagen, which helps maintain its normal, rounded shape and makes it robust and flexible. Having a healthy cornea enables you to see clearly. The cornea thins and bulges into an atypical cone form in keratoconus, impairing vision.
In most cases, keratoconus starts after adolescence and worsens until the mid-30s. It is impossible to forecast whether or how quickly the disease will advance. Both eyes are typically affected by keratoconus, though one is usually more severely affected than the other.
