Thyroid gland dysfunction and keratoconus
We observed a higher frequency of keratoconus, with female predominance, in the TGD group. TGD was associated with significant changes in certain corneal topographic and tomographic parameters. Compared with healthy controls, individuals with TGD demonstrated increased Kmax and BE values with more corneal thinning, highlighting the potential association between keratoconus and TGD. However, further large-scale longitudinal studies are essential to confirm our findings.
