The article reviews the results of optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the retina and optic nerve in patients with keratoconus (KC). This research direction is premised by the possibility that changes in the retina and optic nerve are associated with KC, as well as the potential influence of significant changes in axial eye length, disorders of corneal refraction and increased level of aberrations on the quality of visualization of these ocular structures. Results of the conducted studies were conflicting, but in all they indicated a possibility of OCT findings to be altered in KC patients. Therefore, the question of changing the parameters for OCT of the retina and optic nerve requires further investigation. The main problem that needs solving with evidence based medical research can be phrased as follows: are the changes in OCT findings observed in KC patients the consequence of changes in the retina and optic nerve associated with this disorder, or potential effect of aberrations and irregular astigmatism on the quality of visualization of the studied structures?
