Esto provoca \u201cest\u00e1tica\u201d en la visi\u00f3n y puede provocar un deterioro visual significativo.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>S\u00edntomas<\/h2>\n<p>El queratocono suele aparecer por primera vez en personas que est\u00e1n al final de la adolescencia o al principio de la veintena, y puede progresar durante 10 a 20 a\u00f1os y luego desacelerarse o estabilizarse. Cada ojo puede verse afectado de manera diferente. En las primeras etapas del queratocono, las personas pueden experimentar:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Visi\u00f3n ligeramente borrosa<\/li>\n<li>Distorsi\u00f3n de la visi\u00f3n<\/li>\n<li>Mayor sensibilidad a la luz.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>La c\u00f3rnea es la encargada de enfocar la mayor parte de la luz que entra en el ojo. Por lo tanto, las anomal\u00edas de la c\u00f3rnea, como el queratocono, pueden tener un gran impacto en la forma en que una persona ve el mundo, haciendo que tareas sencillas como conducir un coche o leer un libro sean muy dif\u00edciles.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>Queratocono:<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li>Puede provocar una p\u00e9rdida significativa de la visi\u00f3n.<\/li>\n<li>Puede conducir al trasplante de c\u00f3rnea en casos graves.<\/li>\n<li>Afecta tanto a hombres como a mujeres.<\/li>\n<li>Afecta a todas las etnias<\/li>\n<li>El 10% de las personas con queratocono tienen familiares afectados<\/li>\n<li>Las personas con s\u00edndrome de Down tienen 20 veces m\u00e1s probabilidades de verse afectadas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Puede encontrar m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n de la Fundaci\u00f3n Nacional del Queratocono en <a href=\"https:\/\/nkcf.org\/\">www.NKCF.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h1>\u00bfQu\u00e9 es la reticulaci\u00f3n corneal iLink\u2122?<\/h1>\n<p>La reticulaci\u00f3n corneal iLink\u2122 es un procedimiento ambulatorio m\u00ednimamente invasivo que combina el uso de luz ultravioleta y gotas oft\u00e1lmicas especialmente formuladas para endurecer y fortalecer las c\u00f3rneas que se han debilitado por una enfermedad o una cirug\u00eda refractiva.
