Keratoconus detection by novel indices in patients with Down syndrome: a cohort population-based study

ConclusionThe prevalence of KC in Down syndrome patients is significantly higher than that reported in non-Down syndrome individuals of the same age groups. The progression rate is approximately similar to that of the non-Down syndrome population. Screening programs should be applied to prohibit serious visual impairment in these populations.
