What is the disorder i'd the eye where the corneas are different shapes?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Several types: Astigmatism is common, and is when the cornea is not the same roundness all the way around (it is a little flatter in one direction, like the surface of a football). Keratoconus is when the center of the cornea points outward too much, and cornea plana is when the cornea is too flat.

Keratoconus: The condition that youare most likely describing is keratoconus. The best doctor to evaluate and discuss treatment options would be a fellowship trained corneal specialist.
