Abstract

Annotation 
Keratoconus is a progressive, degenerative disorder of the cornea characterized 
by thinning and protrusion, leading to irregular astigmatism and visual impairment. 
Early  detection  is  crucial  in  halting  or  slowing  disease  progression  through  timely 
intervention,  such  as  corneal  cross-linking.  This  article  reviews  the  methods  of 
screening for keratoconus in its early stages, emphasizing the importance of advanced 
imaging techniques and clinical markers for early diagnosis. Understanding the risk 
factors and implementing appropriate screening in susceptible populations can improve 
clinical outcomes and reduce the burden of advanced keratoconus.
