Cylindrical power increase
I am 26. In 2018 I had -5.50 sph, -0.25 cyl in right eye and -5 sph, -0.75 cyl in left eye. Now in 2021, I have -6 sph, -1 cyl in right eye, and -5.50 sph, -1.50 cyl in left eye. Is this cylindrical power change in 3 years is due to Keratoconus? Does this change in cylindrical power the onset of Keratoconus?
