Prevalence of Keratoconus and Keratoconus Suspect among Patients Seeking Refractive Surgery in Syria.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of keratoconus (KC) and keratoconus suspect (KCS) among patients seeking refractive surgery in Syria.
Methods: This is a retrospective multicenter screening study. The study was conducted in Damascus University, Tishreen University, and Tartous Specialist Eye Center (a private center). Data were collected from refractive surgery candidates referred for preoperative evaluation before laser in situ keratomileusis, photorefractive keratectomy, intrastromal corneal rings, and phakic intraocular lens implantation. Corneal parameters were obtained by Scheimpflug-Placido tomography, Sirius (CSO, Italy).
Results: A total of 1479 patients were included in this analysis. The prevalence rates of KC and KCS were 18.19% (269/1479) and 13.52% (200/1479), respectively. In addition, patients with KC were found to have higher percentages of eye rubbing and astigmatism than suspect and normal (P < 0.0001).
Conclusion: High prevalence rate of KC was found among patients seeking refractive surgery in Syria. Although this study was carried out on a highly selective population, it may reflect a high prevalence rate in a general population in Syria.
