  • Description: Purpose : to provide a clinical case of recurrent keratoconus from our practice. Materials and method . A patient came to the clinic with a complaint of decreased visual acuity in the right eye. A series of standard instrumental examinations and Scheimpflug keratotopography were performed, and astigmatism of the right eye was diagnosed. Similar examinations were carried out during the patient’s attendance at follow-up examinations. Results . Based on the results of scanning Scheimpflug keratotopography, the diagnosis of keratoconus (forme fruste) was made. On examination after 1 year, there were no complaints of decreased visual acuity and data from the same instrumental examinations indicating keratoconus. After this examination, the patient came 3.5 years later with complaints of a new decreased visual acuity in the right eye. During instrumental examinations and keratopography, data were obtained indicating the presence of posterior keratoconus. After 1 year, a follow-up examination took place without complaints. The data of instrumental studies are identical to the previous visit; keratotopography revealed a decrease in posterior elevation. Discussions and conclusion . It was revealed that the patient was constantly taking the hydroxyurea drug against the background of systemic disease up to the 3rd visit, at the time of the 4th visit she had not taken it for 1 year. There are publications in the literature on the effect of this type of drugs on the collagen of the dermis of the skin, the type of which corresponds to the collagen of the cornea. We hypothesize that drugs may have an effect on the biomechanical properties of the cornea, which requires further in-depth study.
