Keratoconus is a non-inflammatory ectatic thinning disorder of the cornea that results in poor vision because of irregular astigmatism.[1] Spectacles are useful in the early stages of keratoconus when the astigmatism is mild. With advanced keratoconus, spectacles play a very limited role and contact lenses become necessary for improving the vision and play a major role. Various options for contact lenses are available and one can use any one of these as a starting lens, depending on the severity of the cone and associated conditions.[2345] To fit contact lenses is a challenge in patients with keratoconus; this article attempts to simplify the selection of a right contact lens to obtain an acceptable fit with improved vision.
