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.

Prevalence of keratoconus in persons with Down syndrome: a review
BMJ Open Ophthalmology, 2021 Purpose Keratoconus is a vision-threatening condition, and there is a need for knowledge about the occurrence in subgroups of the population. The progression of the disease can be effectively stopped, and vision may be restored, if keratoconus is ...

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 ...
