This is an updated and comprehensive treatise on optical, medical, and surgical management of keratoconus with an exclusive panoramic view of all existing modalities for confronting this serious disabling morbidity affecting people in their youth. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can salvage vision and help patients to get back to their routines and enhance their quality of life. The contents include optical and glass prescription and contact lens fitting; CXL alone; and combined surgeries, phakic IOLs, and corneal transplantation. The illustrated and organized 360-degrees approach makes this a must-have manual for ophthalmology trainees, fellows, and professionals.
