- Abstract
Keratoconus is a gradually progressing disease of unknown cause, characterized by central thinning, increased curvature, and finally scarring of the cornea. This causes myopia and astigmatism and the ultimate treatment is keratoplasty. We studied the composition of basement membranes (BMs) in normal, scarred and keratoconus corneas to find out possible changes specific for keratoconus.
