Munson sign documents which condition?

• A. Glaucoma
• B. Keratoconus
• C. Myopia
• D. Retinal Detachment

Answer: (B)

Munson sign is a clinical sign seen in keratoconus. In advanced keratoconus, the cornea becomes thin and cone-shaped, protruding toward the inside of the eyelid. When the patient looks downward, this bulging cornea pushes against the lower eyelid, creating a noticeable V-shaped indentation along the lid—Munson sign. This finding helps distinguish keratoconus from other eye conditions such as glaucoma, ordinary myopia, or retinal detachment, which do not produce this lid indentation.
