The ABCD Keratoconus Grading System–A Useful Tool to Estimate Keratoconus Progression in the Pediatric Population

Abstract

Among a cohort of pediatric patients with keratoconus, worsening in the ABCD grading was associated with disease progression, whereas no significant change was demonstrated in the Amsler-Krumeich classification The ABCD grading system is a useful tool for initial assessment of disease progression in the pediatric population, in which early recognition is of paramount importance.
