The article reviews the key information regarding morphological changes in keratoconic corneas and dramatic alterations of the corneal tissue induced by corneal cross-linking according to data obtained with in vivo corneal confocal microscopy, presents basic information on keratoconus visualization techniques widely used for diagnosis, monitoring of ectasia, as well as efficacy assessment of its treatment, and lists basic principles of corneal cross-linking procedure and confocal microscopy with consideration of morphology specifics of keratoconic corneas. The article also discusses prospective benefits of further research and longitudinal studies aimed to define the origin of keratoconus and to develop advanced corneal cross-linking protocols.
