Stephen Curry just revealed something that makes his accomplishments even crazier
The Warriors star says special contact lenses and six-month eye exams have helped him manage the progressive condition.
- Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry revealed he has keratoconus, a progressive eye condition, and is partnering with Glaukos on the "Could It Be KC?" awareness campaign to promote early screenings.
- Curry was diagnosed in 2018 after then-general manager Bob Myers texted him, noticing the sharpshooter squinting during a broadcast; Curry admitted he had unknowingly been compensating for distorted vision for years.
- Keratoconus thins and distorts the cornea, affecting an estimated one in every 2,000 people. The 38-year-old now undergoes eye exams every six months and wears special contact lenses to manage the condition.
- The initiative aims to destigmatize vision issues and encourage regular checkups. Curry noted that correcting his vision was a "transformative" experience, allowing him to see details he previously missed.
- Now 38 and entering his 18th NBA season, Curry continues to monitor his stable condition every six months. He hopes sharing his journey will help others recognize symptoms earlier and avoid the uncertainty he once faced.
