Contact lenses in treatment of keratoconus.

THE increasing recognition of the importance of contact lenses in the treatment of keratoconus has led to a quite exceptional concentration of these cases in the Contact Lens Department at the Royal Westminster branch of the Moorfields, Westminster and Central Eye Hospital. It is possible that the opportunity to analyse in detail such a large series of keratoconus cases has not previously occurred, and it is proposed to present the general pictule of the disease as seen in these cases and to draw certain conclusions, before proceeding to consider in greater detail the tieatment of keratoconus using contact lenses.
