Keratectasias are non-inflammatory dystrophic diseases of the cornea characterized by progressive bilateral thinning of the cornea that lead to deterioration in the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of vision reducing patient’s quality of life. The changes can be asymmetrical and destructive. A number of surgeries have been proposed to reduce the negative effects of keratectasia including penetrating keratoplasty and its modifications, implantation of corneal ring segments, corneal cross-linking — alone and in combination with other methods, intrastromal keratoplasty. These methods can improve visual acuity to a certain degree and help slow the progression of keratectasia. This article studies various surgical methods used for treating keratectasia and analyses possible assessment of the quality of vision before and after the treatment.
