Yes: Keratoconus is a condition in which the cornea, or front of the eye, is very steep. Patients with keratoconus are often very near-sighted and have astigmatism. Hard contact lenses can correct for this in most cases. For corneas that are too steep or irregular for contacts or those with scarring, corneal transplantation can be done.
