EnglishWhat Is Keratomania?
Updated
Keratomania is an accessibility-first eye health education and keratoconus support platform. It is built for people who want to understand keratoconus, experience simulations of keratoconus-related vision anomalies, or share their own experiences. Its main tools include a text simulator, a keratoconus camera, a quiz, a crossword puzzle, a guide, and a picture gallery.
What Keratomania Offers
The site groups its resources around learning, simulating, and sharing keratoconus experiences.

Who It Is For
- People newly diagnosed or curious about keratoconus who want a plain-language starting point before or alongside clinical care.
- Friends, family, teachers, and colleagues who want to grasp why certain visual tasks can be difficult.
- People with keratoconus who want to try simulations, test their knowledge, or contribute creative work.
- Anyone interested in eye health education who prefers an accessibility-first design.
How to Use It
- Start with Understanding Keratoconus for the basic concepts and the "different lens" framing.
- Open the Text Simulator to see a reading task rendered with keratoconus-like distortion.
- Try the Keratoconus Camera if you want to apply live effects and save photos or videos.
- Take the Quiz or play the Crossword Puzzle to check what you have learned.
- Read the Keratoconus Guide for causes, diagnostics, management pathways, and daily life.
- Visit the Picture Gallery to see creative work related to keratoconus and eye health.
What to Keep in Mind
Keratomania is an education and support platform, not a medical provider. The simulations are meant to build empathy and awareness, not to diagnose a condition or replace an eye exam. If you have concerns about your vision, the appropriate next step is an evaluation by an eye care professional.
The site's accessibility-first approach is also a signal of its intended audience: people who may already face visual barriers and want tools that do not add more.
