Keratoconus, unstable, right eye

Keratoconus is a condition that affects the cornea, the clear front part of the eye. It is a progressive condition that causes the cornea to thin and bulge into a cone-like shape. Keratoconus typically affects both eyes, but one eye may be more severe than the other.

In some cases, keratoconus may be unstable, meaning that the shape of the cornea is changing rapidly. This can cause vision to fluctuate and may require frequent changes to eyeglass or contact lens prescriptions.

If you have been diagnosed with keratoconus in your right eye, it is important to be aware of the symptoms of an unstable cornea. These may include:

  1. Blurred vision
  2. Double vision
  3. Sensitivity to light
  4. Halos or glare around lights

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to consult with your eye doctor. They can perform tests to determine the stability of your cornea and recommend appropriate treatment.

While there is no cure for keratoconus, there are treatment options available to help manage the condition. These may include:

  • Specialized contact lenses
  • Corneal cross-linking
  • Intacs® corneal implants
  • Corneal transplant

It is important to note that each case of keratoconus is unique, and treatment will depend on the severity and stability of the condition. Your eye doctor will work with you to determine the best course of action.

In conclusion, keratoconus can be a challenging condition to manage, especially when it is unstable in one eye. However, with proper diagnosis and treatment, it is possible to maintain good vision and quality of life.
