Keratoconus: The Hidden Cause of Blurry Vision & What You Can Do About It

If your glasses or contacts no longer seem to help — especially if you have astigmatism — it might not just be a stronger prescription you need. In this episode of Eye Got You, Dr Valarie Jerome breaks down a commonly missed condition: keratoconus.

Keratoconus is when the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, distorting your vision. It can start as early as your teens or twenties and often goes undiagnosed for years.

Dr Valarie shares:

• ​What keratoconus is and why it happens
• ​Real patient stories that highlight the early signs
• ​The latest diagnostic tools (like corneal topography)
• ​Treatments including specialist contact lenses, corneal cross-linking, and more
• ​What to do if your vision is blurry and astigmatism corrections aren't helping

Whether you’ve been diagnosed, suspect you might have it, or just want to understand more, this episode gives you expert advice that’s clear, practical, and easy to follow.
