Abstract:
Keratoconus is a corneal ectasia disease that dramatically affects visual function.Currently,the treatment approach of keratoconus includes wearing of spectacles or contact lenses,epikeratophakia,keratoplasty,etc.Femtosecond laser is a type of infrared laser operated in pulse form,which is accurate,safe and simple in operation.This technique has been applied in keratoplasty,intrastromal corneal ring implantation and cross-linking.Combination therapy may achieve better outcome.This review focuses on the related application of femtoseeond laser in keratoconus treatment.
