Keratoconus Overview

Keratoconus is a bilateral and asymmetric cornea disease characterized by progressive thinning, steepening, irregular astigmatism, and decreased visual acuity. Environmental and familial factors are associated with an increased risk of developing the condition. Eye rubbing is also a strong risk factor in the pathogenesis of keratoconus. Classification systems based on morphological changes and disease evolution are Morphological (Buxton), Keratometric, Hom’s, and Amsler-Krumeich. The condition typically develops in the second and third decades of life and progresses until the fourth decade, when it stabilizes. It can also develop earlier or later in life. The condition typically affects both eyes, although with different degrees of severity. While there is no clear consensus on the signs and symptoms associated with early keratoconus, subclinical or form-fruste keratoconus is commonly used to describe the early stages of the disease.
