A concise clinical resource for the contact lens practitioner on the diagnosis and management of keratoconus. Evaluation and fitting of the patient with contact lenses is covered in detail, as are guidelines to determine if the patient would benefit from a corneal transplant to correct the bulging of the cornea and improve visual acuity. Keratoconus is a developmental problem in which the central portion of the cornea becomes thinner and bulges forward in a cone-shaped fashion. Correction is usually best achieved with contact lenses, but if these cannot be worn or if the condition is severe, a corneal transplant is carried out. This manual provides clinical findings for the management of keratoconus patients.
