The role of environment in the pathogenesis of keratoconus

6 May 2021

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This study was conducted to demonstrate the importance of the environment in keratoconus (KC) genesis. RECENT FINDINGS: Genetic-related connective tissue disorders demonstrate the inconsistency of theories regarding KC pathogenesis since no corneal steepening was observed in the majority of these patients. Despite recent advances and decades of research into the genetics of KC, the...
