This review details keratoconus, a corneal condition affecting vision. It covers clinical signs, associated conditions, and treatment options including contact lenses and surgical interventions like penetrating keratoplasty.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Diseases
  • Vision Science

Background:

  • Keratoconus is a common corneal disorder with diverse underlying causes.
  • Understanding its clinical, histological, and biochemical features is crucial for diagnosis.
  • Associated ocular and systemic conditions can influence keratoconus progression and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of keratoconus.
  • To evaluate diagnostic signs, associated conditions, and epidemiological data.
  • To review current and emerging treatment strategies for keratoconus.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of clinical signs, histological and biochemical changes.
  • Assessment of associated ocular and systemic conditions.

  • Evaluation of contact lens fitting principles and surgical techniques.

    • Main Results:

    • Keratoconus presents with characteristic clinical signs and corneal alterations.
    • Various ocular and systemic conditions are associated with keratoconus.
    • Treatment includes contact lenses and surgical options like penetrating, lamellar, and epikeratophakia.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective management of keratoconus requires a multidisciplinary approach.
    • Contact lens fitting and surgical interventions offer viable treatment options.
    • Further research into keratoconus etiology and novel treatments is warranted.
