Keratoconus is an eye problem that affects young individuals. It is associated with significantly impaired vision-related quality of life (VRQoL). Many times, patients with keratoconus have associated allergy, which additionally impacts their daily activities. While early cases can be managed by glasses, there are various options for moderate to advanced disease. Whenever I examine these patients, especially children, I feel the challenges are many despite newer diagnostic techniques and treatment modalities.

Coming across the increasing number of patients with keratoconus in my clinical practice drove me to editing a comprehensive book on keratoconus to help cornea specialists and general ophthalmologists to better manage kera­toconus cases. The authors are experts in their field and from various parts of the world.

Technology is emerging fast for the diagnosis of keratoconus. Similarly, the armamentarium of its visual rehabilitation procedures has expanded. Collagen crosslinking is a boon for these patients. Research is underway to understand the pathogenesis of the disease and its progression. I hope this book will be a useful guide and a ready reference for ophthalmologists in managing cases of keratoconus.
