The pathogenesis of keratoconus [PDF]
Eye, 2013 Keratoconus (KC) is a common degenerative condition that frequently results in visual loss with an onset typically in early adulthood. It is the single most common reason for keratoplasty in the developed world. The cause and underlying pathological mechanism are unknown, but both environmental and genetic factors are thought to contribute to the ...

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.

Corneal collagen cross-linking for treating keratoconus. [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Keratoconus is a condition of the eye that affects approximately 1 in 2000 people. The disease leads to a gradual increase in corneal curvature and decrease in visual acuity with consequent impact on quality of life.

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.
