Manage Keratoconus with Expert Care in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

Are you experiencing blurred or distorted vision? You might be dealing with keratoconus, a progressive eye condition that affects the cornea. At Kathleen Andersen, OD, we specialize in diagnosing and managing keratoconus to help our patients in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, and the surrounding areas maintain clear and healthy vision.

Understanding Keratoconus

Keratoconus occurs when the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, thins and begins to bulge into a cone-like shape. This irregular shape prevents light from focusing correctly on the retina, leading to distorted and blurred vision. The exact cause of keratoconus is unknown, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors.

A thoughtful and knowledge front office staff. My doctor took alot of time to help me understand what changes are occurring in my eyes. I really appreciated that because at my age 62, there are lots of changes. Thank you!

My visit was painless and super easy. I recently obtained vision benefits through my company. After my first visit for the first time in 15 years, I signed some paperwork and I went back and had my eyes checked. Buying glasses for astigmatism has never been easier. Tried on several pairs and bought two. It was a great visit.
