Overview
- Curry told People in an interview published Sept. 23, 2026, that he was diagnosed with keratoconus in 2018 after then-GM Bob Myers noticed him squinting on a telecast and urged an eye exam.
- He said he had experienced “crazy blurred vision” and distorted images for years and learned to compensate on the court while still producing elite shooting and winning championships.
- Doctors told Curry surgery was not a suitable option, so he began wearing specialized contact lenses to correct his vision and now goes to an eye doctor every six months.
- The revelation has prompted strong fan and media reaction because his diagnosis came after he had already won multiple championships and MVP awards, which reframes how some of his peak performances are viewed.
- Keratoconus is a progressive change in the cornea’s shape that causes blurriness and visual distortion and can worsen over time, so ongoing monitoring and corrective lenses are common management tools.
