Comparison of Keratoconus Progression Rate between Adolescents Aged 19–24 Years and Young Adults: Impact on Indication for Crosslinking
Keratoconus may worsen more rapidly in adolescent patients aged 19-24 years compared to young adult patients aged 25-30 years. This study emphasizes the high progression rate in adolescent patients and the consideration of early cross-linking and/or at least closer follow-ups in this age group.
