Area of Science:

Ophthalmology

Ocular Pathology

Background:

Posterior keratoconus is a rare corneal condition.
Typically, it is a developmental disorder.
The etiology of acquired posterior keratoconus is less understood.

Observation:

A case of acquired posterior keratoconus is described.
The patient presented with moderately reduced vision.
The condition was observed to be non-progressive.

Findings:

Acquired posterior keratoconus can occur outside of typical developmental pathways.
Trauma is a potential contributing factor to acquired posterior keratoconus.
The clinical presentation, including vision reduction and lack of progression, mirrors developmental forms.

Implications:

This case expands the known etiologies of posterior keratoconus.
Understanding acquired forms is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
Further research into trauma-induced corneal conditions is warranted.
