Dr. J. R. Lacey of Central Austin’s Master Eye Associates has provided a breakdown of the symptoms and treatment of keratoconus, a non-inflammatory eye disease, for those seeking information or heading into treatment. Keratoconus causes a person’s dome-like cornea to progressively thin. This results in the development of a cone-like bulge, typically in the cornea’s inferior section. This disease is normally found in both eyes, though one eye experiences more severe symptoms, with thinning most pronounced at the cone apex. The distorted cone causes significant irregular astigmatism, since the cornea’s normally round shape allows focusing and refraction which provides proper sight. Corneal abnormalities like keratoconus affect the way sufferers see and can significantly impact quality of life.

North Austin eye care specialists Master Eye Associates has provided a thorough dissection of cataract symptoms, causes and treatments available at their North Austin location as well as their other Austin area eye care offices. Cataracts are a common disorder, causing blurred vision and sensitivity to glare. Cataracts occur when the crystalline lens of the eye gets cloudy or begins to turn opaque. This cloudiness leads to a decrease in visual acuity and an increase in sensitivity to light/dark contrast. The crystalline lens focuses light as an image onto the retina. As a result, obscurities that arise in the form of cataracts on the lens cause poor vision. It’s well known that cataracts are directly related to aging, as cataracts are common in older folks. In fact, once people reach age 70, many have had cataracts of varying degrees or already undergone cataract surgery. Cataracts can occur in one or both eyes, but do not “spread” from one eye to the other.
