Nerpina M.E., Pozharitskaya Ye.M., Pozharitskiy M.D. MODERN ALGORITHM OF KERATOCONUS EARLY DIAGNOSTICSCurrently, there is a growing incidence of keratoconus. However, there is no universally accepted diagnostic algorithm. This article presents a comparative analysis of modern diagnostic techniques, identified the most sensitive indicators and, based on an algorithm for the early diagnosis of the disease.Key words: keratoconus, early diagnosis, pachymetry, tomography, topography.
