These progressive keratoconus symptoms can severely affect daily life if untreated.

  • On Retinoscopy, a scissor reflex is observed
  • On Ophthalmoscopy, an Oil droplet like picture is seen
  • An angulation of the lower lid during inferior gaze due to corneal disease is seen. This is called Munson’s sign
