It is produced in the ciliary body and flows through the pupil and into the trabecular meshwork. This fluid creates a pressure in the eye which helps maintain the eye's shape and normal function. Keratoconus is a non-inflammatory eye condition in which the normally round, dome-shaped cornea thins and becomes distorted. A cone-like bulge develops, resulting in significant visual distortion. This distortion has been compared to viewing a street sign through your car windshield during a driving rainstorm. The progression of KC is unpredictable. It is generally slow and can stop at any stage from mild to severe. As keratoconus progresses, the cornea bulges and thins, becoming irregular. WHO GETS KERATOCONUS? The actual incidence of KC is not known. It is not a common eye disease, but it is by no means rare. It has been estimated to occur in 1 out of every 2,000 to 5000 persons in the general population. Keratoconus is generally first diagnosed in young people at puberty or in their late teen's. It is found in all parts of the world. It has no known significant geographic, cultural or social pattern.
