Introduction -- The Real Prevalence and Incidence of Keratoconusis -- Progression of Keratoconus: Definition and Evaluation -- Collagen Corneal Cross- Linking Halts the progression of Keratoconus -- Epi on Collagen Corneal Cross-Linking -- Epi off Collagen Corneal Cross- linking -- Accelerated Collagen Corneal Cross-Linking -- Pulsed Accelerated Collagen Corneal Cross-Linking -- Customized Collagen Corneal Cross-Linking -- Collagen Corneal Cross-Linking in the Pediatric group -- Alternative methods for Halting the Progression of Keratoconus -- Photorefractive keratectomy for the treatment of Keratoconus and Forme Fruste Keratoconus -- Athens Protocol for the Treatment of Keratoconus -- Intrastromal Corneal Rings for the Treatment of Keratoconus -- Phakic Intra-ocular lenses for the Treatment of Keratoconus -- PKP Versus DALK.

This book presents new technologies which are available now for the rehabilitation of visual acuity in patients suffering from keratoconusand for arresting the progression of this frustrating disease. All these current treatment options in differing combinations aim to improve the quality of life of the patients and although successful, they are causing confusion for the ophthalmologists; what procedure to do and when? How to perform? Which combination of treatments to choose? Controversies in the Management of Keratoconusprovidesthe widely used treatment options for keratoconus including collagen corneal cross –linking (CXL) covering all the available techniques, intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) , phakic intra-ocular lenses (IOLs), photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) combined or not with CXL penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty ( DALK). Each treatment is addressed by more than one author with different points of view in order to present the various approaches, the logic behind them and the most relevant clinical data available.A chapter by the editor tries to put some light on how to navigate among these controversies. This book will be of interest to trainees as well as the specialized ophthalmologists.
