My child is diagnosed with keratoconus disease in right eye and posterior dystrophy in left eye from puberty. We are done pentacam thrice but doctor find no variation means it's stabilize but his power is increasing every three months -0.5 and we need to change the glass .my question is that why is this happening if keratoconus is stable.

When the fibers are weakened, they cannot hold their shape. This causes the cornea to change from a dome to more cone-like in shape.
