However, if you have someone in your family diagnosed with corneal cone, or you notice that your child&#8217;s myopia is progressing too quickly in adolescence, he or she is complaining of a halo effect\/phenomenon around the light source and blurring of the image, and subsequent changes of glasses are not effective, it is essential to ask your ophthalmologist to diagnose the disease. <\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the disease progresses, the patient is affected by further symptoms, among them:<\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">&#13;\n<li>rapidly increasing astigmatism and myopia in one eye<\/li>&#13;\n<li>multiple vision<\/li>&#13;\n<li>Deterioration of vision after dusk and at night.<\/li>&#13;\n<\/ul>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes the first symptom is the so-called acute cone &#8211; a sudden blurring of vision and pain in the eye, which can last up to several weeks. <\/p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is worth knowing that in addition to other factors [<a href=\"https:\/\/swisslaser.pl\/en\/blog\/treatment-of-corneal-cone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"leczenie sto&#x17C;ka rog&#xF3;wki (otwiera si&#x119; na nowej zak&#x142;adce)\"><strong>treatment of corneal cone<\/strong><\/a>] to the formation of corneal cone can contribute to such a trivial activity as &#8230; rubbing of the eyes associated, for example, with poorly selected and cared for contact lenses.
