This document summarizes three types of corneal ectasias: keratoconus, keratoglobus, and pellucid marginal degeneration. It describes the morphological classifications, signs, and systemic associations of keratoconus. Keratoglobus is characterized by bilateral protrusion and thinning of the entire cornea from birth. Pellucid marginal degeneration causes bilateral inferior corneal thinning between ages 20-40.
