Keratoconus and Allergic Diseases Among Israeli Adolescents Between 2005 and 2013

Abstract

In this study, we demonstrated a substantial association between (AC/CB/VKC), asthma, allergic rhinitis, and KC, with no significant association between other allergic diseases and KC. The severity of the allergic status is without doubt associated with a greater risk of having KC. The mechanism causing this association is still unclear.
