Keratoconus, Cornea, Therapeutic BehaviorsAbstract
Keratoconus is an inflammatory condition, a corneal ectasia characterized by an increase in corneal curvature. It occurs during puberty and progresses until the third or fourth decade of life, this pathology has no gender significance since it affects men and women equally. The incidence is 1/2000 cases in the population. Clinically, this ectasia leads to myopia and irregular astigmatism. The etiology is still not well known. There are several types of therapeutic options currently available, therefore a thorough knowledge is needed, where the aim of each treatment is to stabilize the corneal surface, improve vision and prevent the progression of this pathology. The aim of this research work is to perform an exhaustive search regarding the update of the behaviors to be followed in the treatment of keratoconus. The methodology of this work is a bibliographic review, narrative, non-experimental study. The results in this research is to find new updates in the treatment of keratoconus both advantages and disadvantages of each one. The treatments depend on the progression of keratoconus and its classification, because if it is mild, protective measures such as glasses can be used, but if the keratoconus is more severe, more invasive treatments such as surgical methods are needed, it is relevant to know the progression for an adequate evolution of this pathology
