Saudi Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022 Keratoconus is an ectatic corneal disease that affects both men and women, usually at a young age. Risk factors such as eye rubbing, environmental and genetic factors contribute to its pathogenesis. Keratoconus presents a variable prevalence, being as high as 5% of the population in the Middle East.

Quantitative comparison of corneal surface areas in keratoconus and normal eyes
Scientific Reports, 2021 Keratoconus is a highly prevalent corneal disorder characterized by progressive corneal thinning, steepening and irregular astigmatism. To date, pathophysiology of keratoconus development and progression remains debated. In this study, we retrospectively

Cornea, 1988 Keratoconus is a bilateral disorder of corneal shape which may be sporadic or genetically determined. Early corneal thinning suggests that a functional loss of structural elements is a primary event in the disease. Tensile strength of the cornea is reduced and is expressed by signs of rupture and scarring in Bowman's layer, scarring in the substantia ...

Corneal Volume Measurements with Pentacam for Detection of Keratoconus and Subclinical Keratoconus
Türk Oftalmoloji Dergisi, 2013 Pur po se: To estimate the sensitivity and specificity of corneal volume (CV) measurements in discriminating keratoconus and subclinical keratoconus from normal corneas. Ma te ri al and Met hod: Clinical records and Pentacam measurements of ninety-four
