Prevalence of Keratoconus in the Young Eastern Population of Saudi Arabia.

Background: Keratoconus (KCN) is a progressive corneal ectasia that manifests at a young age and significantly impacts vision and quality of life. Early diagnosis allows for effective treatment with corneal collagen crosslinking, yet there is a lack of screening methods. This research aims to screen adolescents and young adults for this sight-threatening disease using quick corneal tomography mapping.
