Keratoconus : Keratoconus is a condition where your cornea bulges forward. 52 diopters is a reading of the amount of bulging (normal is 42-46 diopters). 52 is considered mild to moderate, and can impact your vision negatively. There are treatments for keratoconus, including cross linking. Please see your own doctor to discuss your treatment options.
