Role of Ethnicity and Age in Corneal Curvature and Thickness Changes Following Corneal Cross-Linking for Keratoconus

Key Points

• This work aims to understand how ethnicity and age affect corneal curvature and thickness changes after cross-linking for keratoconus.
• Analyzed corneal curvature and thickness changes post-cross-linking
• Evaluated effectiveness across different severities of keratoconus
• Considered variations among different age groups and ethnic backgrounds
• CXL was effective for all severities of keratoconus
• Age and ethnicity significantly influenced corneal outcomes
• Improved access to CXL may enhance treatment success
