ABSTRACT
Seventy-six patients who visited Kang-Nam St. Mary's Hospital with keratoconus from 1982 to 1987 were reviewed retrospectively. At the time of diagnosis, the age-specific prevalence were greatest in the younger groups, with the rate for males being somewhat greater than that for females and the rate of bilateral involvement was greater than that of unilateral involvement. Of 126 eyes with. keratoconus, 76 achieved visual acuity of 0.3 or better with hard contact lens at the time of diagnosis. Thirty-nine received corneal graft and 38(97%) achieved visual acuity of 0.3 or better with correction. Keratoplasty can be delayed or avoided in many keratoconus patients by using contact lens, especially the specially designed lenses. Also keratoconus eyes often need contact lenses after keratoplasty.
