Keratoconus can be difficult to detect, because it usually develops so slowly. However, in some cases, it may proceed rapidly. Nearsightedness and astigmatism also may accompany this disease, creating additional problems with distorted and blurred vision. Glare and light sensitivity also may be noticed. Keratoconic patients often have prescription changes each time they visit their eyecare practitioner. It's not unusual to have a delayed diagnosis of keratoconus, if the practitioner is not familiar with the early-stage symptoms of the disease.
