Keratoconus: imaging modalities and management.

INTRODUCTION

Keratoconus (KCN) is a multifactorial disease. Inflammatory factors play a significant role as the offending causes and are strongly related to chronic ocular microtraumas such as eye rubbing and nocturnal ocular compression [1-3]. Additionally, KCN appears to have a genetic predisposition [4]. KCN is characterized by steepening, irregular shape, and thinning of the cornea, which contribute to visual impairment [4]. The initial signs of KCN include displacement of the thinnest point of the cornea, variations in corneal epithelial thickness, irregular corneal astigmatism, and central corneal stromal thinning [5].
