Современные концепции лечения катаракты при кератоконусе

Current concepts in the management of cataract with keratoconus.

Keratoconus (KCN) is a non-inflammatory corneal condition with onset commonly in early adulthood, which gradually progresses and often stabilizes later in life. This entity’s clinical signs and symptoms have been well described in the literature.[¹] The unique corneal changes in KCN are seen in topography and tomography. The corneal astigmatism in KCN adds to further loss of vision when one develops a cataract. People with KCN are known to develop a cataract earlier than people without.[²] Most of these patients are myopic, which increases their risk for cataract formation.[³]
