5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Keratoconus is a progressive corneal disease characterized by central steepening and ectasia, with unclear progression and definition.

• 2

  A 35-year-old Hispanic female experienced rapid keratoconus progression despite successful scleral lens fitting and improved comfort.

• 3

  Over 6 months, keratometry values for the left eye increased significantly, indicating rapid corneal steepening.

• 4

  Despite the steepening, the sagittal depth of the cornea remained stable, demonstrating independence from keratometry values.

• 5

  Regular follow-up is essential for keratoconus patients to assess progression and consider timely interventions like crosslinking.
