Eye rubbing habits linked to uneven keratoconus severity
NCT ID NCT07468253
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 154 people with keratoconus, a condition that thins and bulges the cornea, to understand why it is often worse in one eye than the other. Researchers compared those with uneven severity to those with similar severity in both eyes, focusing on eye rubbing habits. The goal was to identify risk factors that could help manage the disease.
