keratoconus
by littlebigwhiteboy, Sep 22, 2007 09:28PM
Hello well i think i might have astigmatism.
Im just wondering if it is possible that i got this because of my moms keratoconus or if it caused by another problem.
im aware that the cause of this is a football bent cornea.
I wear glasses one eye is -.75 and another is -.74.
Also i am 14 and i read on the internet that astigmatism happens to 28% of teens.
So im wondering if i should get a check up.
