Keratoconus (KC) is a condition of the eye meaning conical cornea. It is a rare condition. It usually affects both eyes, although one eye is normally affected before the other. The cornea is the major focusing surface of the eye. In keratoconus, the cornea becomes stretched and thin near its centre, and the thinned part of the cornea bulges making the vision more shortsighted and irregular. As a result the vision is distorted.
The UK Keratoconus Self Help and Support Group:
+ provides information and support for people with Keratoconus in The UK;
+ organises regular meetings for members, often with guest speakers;
+ produces a regular news letter;
+ raises money for research;
+ works to raise awareness of Keratoconus;
+ runs a Web site.
