“…Penetrating corneal transplantation has been the mainstay of treatment for keratoconus since many decades, as reported by the data from the USA,47 Australian Corneal Graft Registry,48 the New Zealand National Eye Bank,49 and individual reports from countries such as Iran,50 Saudi Arabia51 and Ireland 52. The Australian Corneal Graft Registry reports graft survivals of 95% and 89% at 5 and 10 years, respectively, after corneal transplantation in cases with keratoconus 48…”

Keratoconus is an ectatic corneal dystrophy and is a leading indication for corneal transplantation surgery worldwide. The disease was first described in detail more than 150 years ago by Dr John Nottingham, but the understanding of the disease and its management have undergone significant changes over the last few decades. Corneal specialists have adopted new techniques and technologies for the effective management of keratoconus, while adhering to the age-old concepts of contact lens fitting and penetrating keratoplasty. Lamellar keratoplasty has been revived with improved outcomes and devices such as intracorneal ring segments are being used to treat cases of early keratoconus effectively. This review article discusses the current scenario on the surgical as well as non-surgical management of keratoconus with a focus on the established, novel and emerging treatment modalities.
