Contrast Balancing Partially Helps Stereoacuity in Asymmetric Keratoconus
Syncing the contrast input to both eyes may reduce losses in this aspect of vision.

CXL Reduction in KC Stable at Seven Years Post-Treatment
Study shows 82% of eyes saw improvement and stability of uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity.

Despite Risks, PK Yields Better Visual Outcomes than DALK
A large study in keratoconus patients found superior acuity and fewer suture-related complications.

Repeated CXL Found to be Safe, Effective
A second epi-off crosslinking procedure halted progressive keratoconus in nine patients.

Ectasia Common After PK for Keratoconus
Corneal shape change—sometimes by as much as 7.00D—shown to happen three to five years after operation, earlier than recorded before.

Annular Dark Shadow Assessment Useful in Diagnosing Keratoconus
The height of the finding was significantly correlated with keratoconus severity, study shows.
11/28/2022
Epithelial Variability Most Useful in KC Progression
Differences in minimum and maximum epithelium points seem to be independent of changes in the maximum keratometry and the thinnest pachymetric point of the cornea.
11/17/2022
Posterior Segment Alterations Identified in Early-stage Keratoconus
Affected eyes had impaired vasculature, suggesting that the disease might be better considered a collagen disease not limited to the cornea.
