New treatments for keratoconus.

Abstract
Keratoconus is a fairly common, progressive, noninflammatory, corneal-thinning disorder in which the cornea has a conical shape. Rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses or corneal transplantation are effective treatments, but intracorneal ring segments and collagen cross-linking procedures offer some new alternatives in the management of the disease.
