Archives of Ophthalmology, 1959
For some time ophthalmologists have recognized that keratoplasty corrects keratoconus in a large percentage of cases. There is, however, some difference of opinion as to the optimal size of the grafts. Castroviejo 1 and others have suggested a large graft which replaces the entire conus, because the high corneal curvature remaining after a smaller ...

Survey of Ophthalmology, 1998
Keratoconus is a bilateral noninflammatory corneal ectasia with an incidence of approximately 1 per 2,000 in the general population. It has well-described clinical signs, but early forms of the disease may go undetected unless the anterior corneal topography is studied. Early disease is now best detected with videokeratography.

Cornea, 1994
We report herein a patient with iridoschisis and keratoconus. Since the posterior layers of the cornea and the iris stroma have a common embryological deviation, the combination of these two conditions suggests an inter-related pathogenesis. This case is similar to those of patients with progressive essential iris atrophy and keratoconus described by ...

Tissue Antigens, 1983
HLA‐A and ‐B antigens were determined in 64 Caucasoid patients with keratoconus. A highly significant increase in the frequency of HLA‐B5 was found among the patients. Thus keratoconus is the third eye disease after recurrent herpetic keratitis and Behcet's disease showing an association with HLA‐B5.

Contact Lens and Anterior Eye, 2010
Keratoconus is the most common primary ectasia. It usually occurs in the second decade of life and affects both genders and all ethnicities. The estimated prevalence in the general population is 54 per 100,000. Ocular signs and symptoms vary depending on disease severity. Early forms normally go unnoticed unless corneal topography is performed. Disease

Ophthalmology Clinics of North America, 2003
Isolated keratoconus with no associations is by far the most common keratoconus presentation seen by a practicing clinician. This article explores the genetics of this most common form of keratoconus.

Posterior keratoconus is a rare corneal disorder characterized by a total or localized noninflammatory thinning of the cornea. In front of a conical protrusion of the posterior corneal curvature, there is a thinned stroma and nonprotruding anterior surface.

Thermokeratoplasty for Keratoconus
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1976Thermokeratoplasty for keratoconus was performed in 29 eyes with follow-up periods ranging from less than four months to 24 months. Twelve patients obtained visual acuity better than 6/12 (20/40). Five patients required corneal transplantation.

Central keratoconus and bilateral asymmetry of keratoconus
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2016SummaryToday, different measurement techniques are used in clinical routine for detection and monitoring of keratoconus and progression of the disease. In this talk we describe topo‐ and tomographical paramenters for centered or decentered corneal ectasia in terms of central and classical keratoconus.
