摘要: Keratoconus is an ectatic disease in which the cornea develops a conical shape due to thinning of collagenous corneal stroma. Characteristic morphological features seen on slit lamp examination are well described. This overview describes recent advances our understanding keratoconic pathology, focussing particularly matrix metalloproteinase hypothesis keratoconus progression.
