Steph Curry has openly discussed his diagnosis of keratoconus. Despite this challenge, he has not only continued to excel in his career but also cemented his reputation as the

I still refuse to show my actual face (unless I do one for my Keratoconus Cross-Linking surgery recovery) but this is closest I will go…

I wish I could have considered lasik. Instead, my eyes decided to lasik themselves through a degenerative eyes disease called keratoconus where the cornea thins and moves from parabolic shaped to cone shaped.

Elizabeth Yeu, MD, Executive Board Member of IKA, and a cataract and refractive surgeon at Virginia Eye Consultants, talked about perioperative considerations for cataract surgery in keratoconus patients.

​🇩​​🇷​ ​🇦​​🇩​​🇳​​🇦​​🇳​🩺 Keratoconus
• It occurs when the cornea becomes thinner and progressively protrudes into a cone shape, and may cause blurred vision and sensitivity to light.
• Prevalence: 1:375.
