The National Eye Hospital observed World Keratoconus Day on Nov.10, highlighting advanced diagnostic and treatment options available to help young patients maintain clear vision and secure stable futures.

Keratoconus – a progressive eye condition that causes the cornea to thin and bulge into a cone-like shape – poses a growing threat to young people across the island. Speaking on the impact of the disease, Dr. Kusum Ratnayake noted that the condition predominantly impacts children and youth, disrupting their education and preventing many young people from even obtaining a driver’s license.

“When advanced-stage keratoconus takes hold, entire families feel the strain through frequent hospital visits, while the economic productivity of affected young individuals is significantly hampered,” he said.

was told that the doctors at the hospital were not happy with current early detection numbers, which has prompted a renewed drive to broaden public awareness about the condition across the island.

Specialists stressed that timely screening and modern intervention strategies can effectively arrest the progression of the disease, safeguarding both educational prospects and long-term quality of life for Sri Lanka’s youth.

To combat late diagnoses, Dr. Ratnayake strongly advised all schoolchildren to make full use of periodic school vision screenings and get their eyes tested whenever the opportunity is offered.
