Keratoconus: Current and Future State of the Art

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that affects the shape of the cornea. The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped outer layer of the eye. In keratoconus, the cornea becomes thin and cone-shaped. This can lead to blurred vision, double vision, and other visual disturbances.

There is no cure for keratoconus, but there are a variety of treatments that can help to slow the progression of the disease and improve vision. These treatments include:

• Corneal cross-linking
• Intrastromal corneal ring segments
• Phakic intraocular lenses

Corneal cross-linking is a procedure that strengthens the cornea and helps to prevent it from becoming thinner and cone-shaped. Intrastromal corneal ring segments are small, plastic rings that are surgically implanted into the cornea. These rings help to reshape the cornea and improve vision. Phakic intraocular lenses are artificial lenses that are implanted into the eye in front of the natural lens. These lenses help to correct vision and can be used to treat keratoconus.

The field of keratoconus treatment is constantly evolving. New and innovative treatments are being developed all the time. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in keratoconus diagnosis and treatment. It is essential reading for anyone who is interested in the latest developments in keratoconus treatment.
