Old belief: Males are predominantly affected by this disease. - Most modern studies with wide bases do not support this. Keratoconus affects both genders in a comparable manner.
Old belief : There is no known precipitating factor for keratoconus. - EYE RUBBING is thought to be a precipitating factor in about half the patients diagnosed with Keratoconus.
Old belief: Allergies are more commonly seen in this group of patients. This stands validated in several newer studies across the world including our own.
