Keratoconus may occur due to an imbalance reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Reactive Nitrogen Species (NOS). The ratio is higher in keratoconus patients. This can be exaggerated by exposure to the UVB, chemicals, and mechanical stress such as that caused by poorly fitted contact lenses.
If this is true then AVOIDING EYE RUBBING can not be overstated. Also treatment for allergies need to be well addressed.
Antioxidative therapy, like the ones currently used in retinal treatment could be a possible future option.
Other details will follow in subsequent posts.
