Keratoglobus is a rare noninflammatory corneal thinning disorder characterised by generalised thinning and globular protrusion of the cornea. It was first described as a separate clinical entity by Verrey in 1947. Both congenital and acquired forms have been shown to occur, and may be associated with various other ocular and systemic syndromes Keratoglobus is a bilateral, non-inflammatory, ectatic disorder of the cornea that is characterized by globular protrusion of the cornea (Smolek and Klyce 2000 ). Interestingly, this disease closely resembles buphthalmos and anterior megalophthalmos, where abnormal, large eyes with enlarged cornea as well as increased axial lengths are seen in Introduction.
