New progress in the treatment of pediatric keratoconus
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2021, Vol 36, Issue 12
Abstract
At present, the research on adult keratoconus has been extensive, while the research on pediatric keratoconus is few. The diagnosis and treatment of pediatric keratoconus are often based on the study of keratoconus in adults. Pediatric keratoconus is more aggressive than adult keratoconus, resulting in visual impairment that can follow throughout their lives and have a serious negative impact on their quality of life and educational development. In this paper, according to the treatment progress of pediatric keratoconus in recent years, the safety, effectiveness, and treatment timing of different treatment methods were summarized, in order to have a more comprehensive understanding of the treatment of pediatric keratoconus.
