Abstract
Keratoconus (KC) is a progressive, bilateral asymmetrical, non-inflammatory disorder, in which the central portion of the cornea becomes thinner and bulges forward in a conical shape [1] . Although it is an idiopathic disease, it can be affected by positive family history and associated with atopy, Down’s syndrome, central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and choroidal neovascularization (CNM) [2] .
