In corneal ectasia, LASIK or PRK procedures remove too much tissue from the cornea, and causes a new form of astigmatism. The cornea becomes excessively thin and weak, and won't be able to hold the normal eye pressure. Thus, it starts bulging out.

What causes keratoconus? Although keratoconus has been studied for decades, it remains poorly understood. The definitive cause of keratoconus is unknown, though it is believed that the predisposition to develop the disease is present at birth. A common finding in keratoconus is the loss of collagen in the cornea.
Mild to moderate keratoconus can be treated with eyeglasses or contact lenses. This will likely be a long-term treatment, especially if your cornea becomes stable with time or from cross-linking....LensesEyeglasses or soft contact lenses. ... Hard contact lenses. ...

H18.713 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of corneal ectasia, bilateral. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H18.713 and a single ICD9 code, 371.71 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD; keratotorus), is a degenerative corneal condition, often confused with keratoconus. It is typically characterized by a clear, bilateral thinning (ectasia) in the inferior and peripheral region of the cornea, although some cases affect only one eye. The cause of the disease remains unclear (idiopathic).
