Progression in Keratoconus

Abstract

The study of keratoconus progression was once based upon slitlamp study, keratometry, and placido disk image examination. Today we have a lot of new corneal devices and indexes wich can help the ophthalmologist to make earlier the diagnosis and also to recognize as much is possible a progressive keratoconus. Only a deep knowledge of the meaning of all these indexes and values, together with the ability to interlock one another, increases reliability in the evaluation of Corneal Ectasia. Some pratical instructions are provided to help the early diagnosis of progressive Keratoconus.
