Ceratocone é uma doença não inflamatória da córnea. Caracteriza-se pelo afinamento progressivo e a saliência em forma de cone da córnea que leva à deficiência visual. Ceratocone é mais comum em pessoas com histórico familiar da doença. Também foi encontrado associado a certos distúrbios sistêmicos. O uso de lentes de contato não é claramente um fator de risco. acientes presentes na puberdade ou início da idade adulta com comprometimento visual que pode ser assimétrico. A deficiência visual progride até a quarta década. A dificuldade com a correção da visão pode ser a primeira indicação desse transtorno.
