Tobacco Smoking Among Crosslinked-keratoconus Patients

NCT03462355 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 62

Last updated 2018-03-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Certain studies reported that cigarette by-products may make the cornea more rigid, suggesting that it could lead to "natural" CXL of collagen fibers, hence a protective effect for KC. Others have reported that cigarette smoking causes no significant changes in the corneal biomechanics. The aim of this study was to assess a possible link between keratoconus (KC) occurrence and patients' smoking habits.
