FOR PATIENTS Do you have Keratoconus? DO YOU HAVE KERATOCONUS? What is keratoconus? The surface of the cornea, the transparent dome-shaped front part of our eyes is their most important focusing lens. To function properly it must be exquisitely smooth and appropriately shaped. Keratoconus causes the central area of the cornea to become thinner and bulge outward thereby impairing its ability to focus. The tendency to develop keratoconus is present at birth and is estimated to affect 1 person in 2000. In some patients the disease remains mild and they will continue to have good functional vision with glasses. In many keratoconus will progress to the point that vision is no longer adequately imporved with glasses. The disease generally affects one eye more than the other by the time it stabilizes, usually (but not always) in the third and fourth decades. What are my options when glasses no longer provide functional vision? Rigid (hard) gas-permeable (RGP) contact lenses can greatly improve vision of keratoconic eyes when glasses are no longer effective. This unique capability is due to the smooth layer of tears they enclose over the irregular surface of the cornea that masks its optical distortions.

PURPOSE: Four videokeratographic methods for keratoconus detection were compared with a neural network approach. METHODS: A classification neural network for keratoconus screening was designed to detect the presence of keratoconus (KC) or keratoconus suspects (KCS); a separate cone severity network graded the severity of conelike topography patterns consistent with KC or KCS. Three hundred TMS-1 examinations (Tomey) were randomly divided

keratoconus Keratoconus This disorder is a progressive thinning of the cornea. Keratoconus is the most common corneal dystrophy in the United States, affecting one in every 2000 Americans. It is more prevalent in teenagers and adults in their 20s. Keratoconus arises when the middle of the cornea thins and gradually bulges outward, forming a rounded cone shape. This abnormal curvature changes the cornea's refractive power, producing moderate to severe distortion (astigmatism) and blurriness (nearsightedness) of vision. Keratoconus may also cause swelling and a sight-impairing scarring of the tissue. Studies indicate that keratoconus stems from one of several possible causes: An inherited corneal abnormality. About seven percent of those with the condition have a family history of keratoconus. An eye injury, for example, excessive eye rubbing or wearing hard contact lenses for a long term (years). Certain eye diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa, retinopathy of prematurity, and vernal keratoconjunctivitis. Systemic diseases, such as Leber's congenital amaurosis, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Down syndrome, and osteogenesis imperfecta.

The cornea is the clear window at the front of the eye. Keratoconus is a condition where the cornea develops a distorted shape producing blurred vision. The eye is normally shaped round like a basketball. With nearsightedness, the cornea is too large and with farsightedness, the eye is too short. With astigmatism, the eye is shaped more like a football rather than a basketball. In other words, it is curved more in one direction than in the direction 90 degrees away. This "football shaped" cornea is what produces the distortion with astigmatism. Associated with this change in corneal shape, is a thinning of the central part of the cornea which eventually produces a "bulge" in the center of the cornea (see photo below). Thus, the name "keratoconus". "Kerato" means cornea and "conus" means cone shaped. The conical shape produces distortion of vision. The football shape analogy produces "regular" astigmatism. This is where the "football" or cornea is shaped differently but is a smooth curvature. In keratoconus, the cornea develops "irregular" astigmatism. This is where each direction of the football shaped cornea has a non-smooth surface much like the peaks and valleys of a mountain range. This produces severe distortion of vision.
