We report on a 13-year-old girl undergoing changes in the refraction of her OS associated with eye rubbing. Corneal topography showed a corneal deformation in OS, classified as stage 1 keratoconus according to the Krumeich classification. A significant reduction in eye rubbing led to a normal corneal shape at the 1-year follow-up. Transient and fully reversible corneal ectasia can be caused by eye rubbing in pediatric age. This may have implications when counseling very young patients with eye rubbing.
我们报告了一例 13 岁女孩 OS 屈光度变化与揉眼相关。角膜地形图显示 OS 存在角膜变形，根据 Krumeich 分类，属于 1 期圆锥角膜。显著减少揉眼后，在 1 年随访时角膜形状恢复正常。儿童期揉眼可导致短暂且完全可逆性的角膜扩张。当为揉眼的非常年幼的患者提供咨询时，这可能具有重要意义。
