Hormone and keratoconus


This study is from Clek or the collaborative longitudinal evaluation of keratoconus. It came from college of optometry in Ohio.
METHODS: The severity and progression of keratoconus in both men (M) and women were evaluated over a 4-year period that encompassed menopausal transition for hormone-active women (HA) and hormone-inactive women (HI). Four outcome measures were selected as indicators of the severity of keratoconus: high-contrast best-corrected visual acuity, low-contrast best-corrected visual acuity, the steep keratometric measurement, and corneal scarring (yes/no).

RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences among the 3 groups (M, HA, and HI) in race, history of atopic disease, family history of keratoconus, or rigid contact lens wear in the right and left eyes. At baseline, there were no significant differences among the 3 groups in high-contrast best-corrected visual acuity, low-contrast best-corrected visual acuity, or steep keratometric reading. Progression of keratoconus, as assessed by changes in these 3 continuous variables, was equal for the 3 groups. M had more corneal scarring than did HA or HI; however, there was no progression of scarring for any of the groups.

CONCLUSION: Keratoconus progressed in both men and women, aged 48-59 years; however, there were no differences among the groups in progression.
So what we learn her is that if you live in Los Angeles and suffer from keratoconus, there is still a chance of scarring even if you are in your fourties. You need to see Los Angeles cornea expert . Dr Khanna has offices in Beverly hills and west lake village and helps residents of Los Angeles with management of keratoconus.
