Actualizaciones en el diagnóstico y tratamiento del queratocono

Abstract

La importancia del diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz del queratocono viene dada por su alta incidencia y prevalencia en pacientes de temprana edad y su carácter evolutivo, siendo la primera causa de trasplante de córnea en España. Además, el sureste de la península iberica es un área endemica de la enfermedad. La exposición a agentes alergenos y a radiación ultravioleta podrían acelerar su aparición y progresión. En etapas avanzadas de la enfermedad existe un importante compromiso de la agudeza visual del paciente, afectando gravemente a la calidad de vida del mismo. Existen una gran cantidad de tratamientos que han demostrado frenar la evolución de la enfermedad (crosslinking) y mejorar la calidad visual de los pacientes (anillos corneales intraestromales); los cuales podrían evitar la realización final de una queratoplastia. El estudio mediante topografía corneal de estos pacientes es imprescindible para realizar un correcto diagnóstico precoz y evitar cirugías refractivas corneales futuras. Es de gran interes conocer las normas básicas de interpretación de la topografía corneal y los índices diagnósticos de queratocono que ayudarán a anticiparse al diagnóstico en etapas clínicas. En este libro se presentan los últimos avances en el diagnóstico y tratamiento del queratocono.
