Keratoconus has been associated with various ocular and systemic disorders. It has been linked, in a few cases, with floppy eyelid syndrome (a disorder characterized by a soft rubbery upper tarsus, papillary conjunctivitis and obesity). A 40-year-old male presented with a complaint of gradually decreasing vision in the right eye. An intermittent right exotropia had become constant and he was unable to maintain fixation voluntarily. Corneal findings were consistent with keratoconus. Floppy eyelid syndrome was also diagnosed. An underlying connective tissue disorder may link these two disorders.
圆锥角膜与多种眼部及全身疾病有关。在少数病例中，它与睑皮松弛症（一种以上睑睑板柔软如橡胶、乳头性结膜炎和肥胖为特征的疾病）有关。一名40岁男性因右眼视力逐渐下降前来就诊。间歇性右眼外斜视已变为恒定性，且他无法自主维持注视。角膜检查结果符合圆锥角膜。睑皮松弛症也被诊断出来。潜在的结缔组织疾病可能将这两种疾病联系起来。
