Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hi Everyone I was talking with a parent the other day about her son who has an eye condition called Keratoconus. This condition is characterized by a cone shaped cornea that causes thinning of the cornea. Keratoconus is somewhat rare -- 1 in every 1000 to 2000 people have it, but is 10 to 300 times more common in people with Down syndrome. This parent would like to connect with other parents whose children have this condition. So, if your child has this, please let me know and I will hook you up with one another! Thanks!
