Abstract
Background/Methods: We studied a 53-year-old male patient, presenting with a history oi reduced vision since childhood in the right eye and since birth in the left eye. Results: Ocular examination revealed the presence of anterior keratoconus in the right eye and posterior kerato conus in the left eye. Conclusion: To our knowledge, co-occurrence of both varieties of keratoconus in the same patient has not been previou sly reported.
