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

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 ...

A predictive model for early diagnosis of keratoconus
BMC Ophthalmology, 2020 Background The diagnosis of keratoconus in the early stages of the disease is necessary to initiate an early treatment of keratoconus. Furthermore, to avoid possible refractive surgery that could produce ectasias.

Middle East African Journal of Ophthalmology, 2011 Keratoconus (KTCN) is non-inflammatory thinning and anterior protrusion of the cornea that results in steepening and distortion of the cornea, altered refractive error, and decreased vision. Keratoconus is a complex condition of multifactorial etiology. Both genetic and environmental factors are associated with KTCN.
