Keratoconus is a condition in which the cornea of the eyeball becomes conical in shape. The shape of the cornea is spherical. The change in shape may be congenital (by birth) or acquired (developed later). The main reason for this condition is the progressive thinning of the cornea. The curvature of the cornea has an important role in refraction. This curvature focuses the light rays on the retina. Thereby eyes maintain a normal ability to see. Any defect in the shape will create visual problems. We cannot correct such problems with glass or even by contact lenses.

Ayurvedic treatments activate the glands to ensure normal secretion for moistening the visual organ. It undergoes a thorough rejuvenation and is made healthy so that the natural mechanism of tear secretion is restored. The lifestyle and profession also have an important role in the development of this condition. It takes between 12 to 14 days to complete a full authentic course of treatment.

Keratoconus is a disease of the eye that effects the cornea. Usually the structure of the cornea is what is effected the most.
