Stephen Curry says he has been dealing with keratoconus, an eye condition that affects the cornea and can cause blurred or distorted vision. According to reported accounts, he was diagnosed in 2018 after periods of vision problems that he navigates during his time in the NBA.
Both outlets connect the disclosure to Curry’s efforts to raise awareness. The Athletic reports that Curry uses his foundation and a paid partnership as part of the wider push to inform others about keratoconus. Times of India adds that support from a former Golden State Warriors general manager helped prompt the diagnosis. The stories also frame Curry’s comments as a behind-the-scenes challenge he has managed while continuing to play at a high level.
While the outlets differ in emphasis—one focusing more on the path to diagnosis and potential team future, the other on his advocacy efforts—they agree on the central point: Curry is open about having keratoconus, identified around the 2018–19 period, and continues his basketball career despite it.
