1. Keratoconus is a noninflammatory ectatic condition of the cornea where it thins and bulges forward in a conical shape, usually below the center. It causes irregular astigmatism and myopia. 2. Treatment includes contact lenses, corneal collagen cross-linking, and corneal transplantation if the condition progresses severely. 3. Vitamin A deficiency can cause keratomalacia, where the cornea melts away due to necrosis. Immediate vitamin A supplementation in high doses is critical for treatment.
