Corneal modeling of keratoconus by conductive keratoplasty.
We evaluated the effect of conductive keratoplasty (CK) applications for corneal modeling to treat keratoconus or post-laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) corneal ectasia in 3 patients. Treating keratoconus with CK applications resulted in more regular topography with visual improvement.
