What causes Keratoconus?
We don’t really know. Some feel there is a genetic cause while others believe it is from another underlying disease of condition. Irregular Astigmatism Millions of Americans have lost vision due to ocular trauma and various corneal conditions. Conditions include: keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, poor refractive surgery outcomes, corneal scarring from infection or injury, severe dry eye, corneal dystrophies, and after corneal transplant surgery. Usually these cases result in irregular astigmatism. Irregular astigmatism is where the cornea becomes so distorted that conventional spectacles or contact lenses cannot completely correct the vision. However, special RGP contact lenses properly fit by an experienced doctor can often correct this irregular astigmatism allowing patients to not only see substantially better but go on to lead normal, visually enhanced lives. Dr. Raykovicz has extensive training and expertise in such lenses. See Doctor’s. Bio. Dr. Raykovicz has examined
