Keratoconus: Forme fruste keratoconus is a term that can mean early keratoconus. Keratoconus is a progressive condition. While one could have exams every 6 months to determine whether or not the condition was progressive or stable, i think a better option would be to consider corneal collagen cross linking. This procedure has been shown to stop the progression of keratoconus. Please speak with your doctor.
