History of diagnosis & treatment of KC

[Steven Williams]

I am intent on doing some personal research outside my working hours during the dark autumn/winter months on the subject of the History of diagnosis & treatment of KC and aim to compile this in a structured and chronological format.

Has this already been done? If so please could you provide the source

Any help or support (sources of reference, information, books) would be appreciated.

In tha past I have done a google search for KC and books and the hits I got were pretty much around contact lens fitting for KC. The abstract was brief, but then they do want you to buy the book, so the sort of thing you are after may well have been done in one of those books.

Without reading it, imposible to say for definite.

This year (or it might have been last year) saw the 100th anniversary of the first corneal transplant and there were a few articles around that time. Don't know if they specifically mentioned KC, as of course corneal transplants are done for a variety of reasons, but it's one lead you could follow. There probably are some abstruse medical tomes with more info, but I've never found them. Good luck!
