A member asked:
Can you tell me is keratoconus included in the category of visual impairment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Keratoconus : Yes - keratoconus can cause reduced quality of vision, and therefore is a cause of visual impairment. Please see your own doctor to discuss treatment options, including corneal collagen cross linking, which can stop the progression of keratoconus.
