Abstract
The article reviews data on the so called non-surgical methods of keratoconus (KC) correction. The combined approach to KC treatment entails three main tasks: prevention of progression, optical correction of induced refractive disorders, and structural repair. Measures taken to accomplish the first two tasks should be regarded as symptomatic treatment, while addressing the last task requires pathogenetically oriented solutions. Corneal cross-linking and optical correction of refractive disorders with rigid gas permeable (RGP) scleral contact lenses should be regarded as the first choice for symptomatic non-surgical correction of keratoconus.
