What causes keratoconus to get worse

2018-09-08 11:07:41
My mother has had keratoconus since she was 30 years old. She never faced any problems due to her keratoconus but lately her eye has been severely paining. She is 42 years old now and the doctors informed us that her keratoconus has gone worse. She always took good care of her eyes so can someone tell me what causes keratoconus to get worse?
