ABSTRACT Keratoconus (from Greek meaning horn-shaped cornea) is a degenerative, ectatic disease of the cornea, causing corneal thinning and remodelling into a more conical shape.1 Symptoms include blurring of vision, and a gradual decline in visual acuity.1 It is usually bilateral, but can affect each eye at different severities.1 There are various treatment modalities, both surgical and nonsurgical, both simple and more invasive. Here, we review the history of the development and advances of the wide range of treatment options, since it was first recognized in 1748 up until now.
