| description | Treatment of keratoconus has evolved substantially over years. Treatment modalities are aimed at stabilization of progressive ecstasia with least invasive approach. Mainstay of treatment has shifted from keratoplasty - (penetrating or lamellar) to less invasive techniques like corneal collagen cross linking, intrastromal corneal ring segments and topography-guided PRK. Recently Bowman Layer Transplantation has evolved as a less invasive, promising option in patients with advanced progressive form of disease. |
