Prevalence of keratoconus in refractive surgery cases in Western India

CONCLUSION: The prevalence of KCN in refractive surgery cases was 1.61% which is higher than those found in the western population and lower than those found in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia and Iran). Furthermore, topographic examination performed during the routine screening of patients for refractive surgery can be a useful tool to diagnose new cases of KCN in asymptomatic patients.
