ABSTRACT

Keratoconus is a clinical term that describes a condition in which the cornea takes a conical shape due to thinning and protrusion; however, it is not an inflammatory process. From the epidemiological point of view, there are several factors that predispose to the disease, some more strongly than others and not yet well established. Its diagnosis is currently made early due to several reasons, among which are detailed eye examinations, conducted in patients with refractive disorders in order to evaluate a possible refractive surgery.
