The Keratoconus
Abstract:
Keratoconus is a progressive ocular disorder marked by corneal thinning and protrusion, resulting in visual impairments including blurred vision, glare, and halos. This descriptive research examines the clinical characteristics, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic alternatives for keratoconus. Diagnostic techniques, such as slit-lamp examination, keratometry, and corneal tomography, are essential for early identification. Non-surgical modalities, such rigid gas permeable lenses and scleral lenses, are efficacious for moderate situations, whilst surgical procedures like as corneal cross-linking, intrastromal corneal rings, and keratoplasty are utilized for more severe cases. The prognosis is positive with prompt diagnosis and compliance with therapy. Nonetheless, obstacles like as early identification, patient adherence, and the swift advancement of treatment modalities underscore the necessity for continuous research and patient education.
Keywords: Keratoconus, cornea, eye disease, diagnosis, treatment, corneal cross-linking, keratoplasty, prognosis, contact lenses, surgery.
