To what extent is pregnancy-induced keratoconus progression reversible? A case-report and literature review.

The current report shows asymmetrically bilateral progression of KC during pregnancy and early post-delivery period, which was followed by a partial recovery in Pentacam parameters after discontinuation of breastfeeding. These findings seem to confirm the postulated link between pregnancy and KC progression. On the other hand, in patients with KC, pregnancy-induced corneal alterations might recover after delivery/breastfeeding and clinician should wait for stabilization of corneal parameters to determine treatment strategy.
