Research Article: Assessment of Keratoconus Risk in Very Asymmetric Ectasia Using Corneal Tomographic and Biomechanical Parameters
Introduction:
Keratoconus is an ocular disorder characterized by bilaterality and asymmetric corneal thinning. Its pathophysiology is multifactorial, having genetic, biochemical (including pro-inflammatory mediators), biomechanical, and environmental components (mainly eye rubbing and nocturnal ocular compression). – In a consensus among ophthalmology experts, it was agreed that true unilateral keratoconus does not exist, but a unilateral clinical presentation may occur in predisposed individuals due to asymmetric environmental…
