Abstract
This chapter presents a broad overview of the most promising methods of diagnosis and treatment in keratoconus. Some techniques are currently being applied with good results, while others have a great future in terms of efficacy and predictability. We are also presenting our insights on the different alternatives to correct keratocnus and visually rehabilitate our patients.
