Abstract:
Keratoconus is a progressive blinding eye disease that characterized by corneal thinning and protrusion, which accompanied with irregular astigmatism and impaired visual acuity.The irregular astigmatism of early keratoconus can be corrected by spectacles. For the irregular astigmatism of moderate to severe keratoconus, spectacles are no longer suitable, and contact lenses are the best choice for patients to restore vision. There are various types of contact lenses, making the selection very difficult. In addition, trying on lenses for a long time will increase the discomfort and overall feeling of patients, and greatly increase the workload of doctors. Thus, the article aims to summarize and discuss the classification of contact lenses, the application of contact lenses in different types of keratoconus, the complications of contact lens, and the current status and prospect of contact lenses, with a view to understanding the management and clinical application of contact lenses in keratoconus patients and to further improving the application value of contact lenses in keratoconus.
