Keratoplasty for keratoconus: advantages and disadvantages
https://doi.org/10.21516/2072-0076-2021-14-4-130-136
Abstract
Keratoconus is a progressive bilateral corneal ectasia, accompanied by loss of vision due to high irregular astigmatism, which is the leading indication for corneal transplantation. The review presents a variety of surgical corneal transplantation techniques for keratoconus available today and discussed their advantages and disadvantages.
