What is Keratoconus: Diagnosis and Management With Spectacles and Contact Lenses about?

Retinoscopy can play an important role in keratoconus screening, because of its portability, affordability, sensitivity, and easy accessibility.• With progression in keratoconus, contact lenses are recommended for vision restoration and delayed surgical intervention. • Corneal gas permeable contact lenses play a large role in keratoconus management and continue to be the initial lens of choice among practitioners when fitting the irregular cornea. • Hybrid lenses are a good lens option for those who are intolerant of corneal gas permeable contact lenses. • Scleral lenses are large diameter gas permeable contact lenses that vault the cornea and land on the scleral conjunctiva. • SLs offer visual improvement and neutralize irregularities of the corneal surface.Compared to corneal lenses, SLs have improved centration and stability.
