Abstract: progression of keratoconus.The CXL procedure has been shown to consistently stabilize keratoconus progression, with varying degrees of improvement in keratometry values, spherical equivalent, astigmatism, coma aberration, and visual acuity across several studies.As a result, CXL has become a widely used treatment for keratoconus in recent years.It is essential to identify the progression to determine whether CXL is indicated and to examine its effectiveness.Therefore, appropriate standards should be followed to inTRoDUCTion Keratoconus is a multifactorial, progressive, ectatic disorder of the cornea characterized by corneal thinning and outward bulging due to breakdown of the corneal collagen structure, resulting in irregular astigmatism.This can decrease visual acuity, which can be improved with contact lenses or spectacles and with specific surgical interventions, such as intracorneal ring implantation or corneal transplantation.However, corneal cross-linking (CXL) is the only treatment modality that prevents the Diurnal Variation of Anterior Segment Morphology in Keratoconus by Scheimpflug imaging: Cross-Linked Versus non-Cross-Linked Eyes
