Abstract
Keratoconus is the most common corneal ectasia disease in patients who are candidates for surgery. Since it is a contraindication for many refractive surgeries,it is necessary to identify keratoconus as early as possible. This is important for effective prevention and treatment. This paper reviews and summarizes some methods currently used in the diagnosis of keratoconus.
