Abstract

1. Keratoconus is a bilateral corneal dystrophy that causes a central corneal thinning. The onset is after puberty. 2. Non-surgical treatment of keratoconus is accomplished best with the use of rigid gas permeable contact lenses. 3. Penetrating keratoplasty is the procedure of choice when contact lenses fail.
