Do you know what this eye disease is called?


I was told it causes thinning of the walls of the eyeball and leads to blindness in the eye. It's not contagious.

The name may contain the letters "kepta" or "cypta" in it.

That's all I know.

Keratoconus 鈥?the cornea thins and changes shape to be more like a cone than a parabola
Keratitis 鈥?inflammation of the cornea
Keratomycosis 鈥?fungal infection of the cornea.




Those are the ones I could find that are similar to what you said.
