World Keratoconus Day

World Keratoconus Day is observed on November 10 every year. It is a National Keratoconus Foundation-funded initiative that is part of the Gavin Herbert Eye Institute at UC Irvine. Keratoconus, also known as ‘K.C.,’ is a non-inflammatory eye disorder that damages the cornea. A person with KC experiences a change in their cornea, which loses its round dome shape and eventually thins and weakens. This alteration causes the cornea to expand into a cone-like shape, resulting in substantial vision loss. This day is committed to raising awareness and sharing resources about keratoconus.
