title: [Preliminary report on the use of excimer laser in treating keratoconus].
abstract: Operations for the reduction of astigmatism in cases of keratoconus were performed on 10 eyes in 8 patients. Disruption of the continuity of the posterior limitans lamina of the cornea was not observed in either case. In 4 cases the intervention had to be repeated.
