Keratoconus is a non-inflammatory, chronic, idiopathic, corneal disease characterized by thinning of the core or paracentral part of the cornea. In this study, we demonstrate the prevalence of keratoconus among patients seeking refractive surgery using laser vision correction (LVC) at the Department of Ophthalmology, Private Eye Center, Jazan, Saudi Arabia.
A retrospective cross-sectional study was undertaken with the data from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 in the ophthalmology department of Jazan city. This study included 1068 eyes of 534 patients of which 56.8% were men. The mean patient age was 28.5 (SD = 8.3) years. The analyst performed chi-square tests for the report. Prevalence was calculated at a 95% confidence interval at specified times in the year (CI).
The prevalence of manifest unilateral keratoconus was 3% and that of bilateral keratoconus was 18.72%; on the other hand prevalence rates of suspected unilateral KC was 16.48% and of bilateral KC 9.36%. Significant differences between eyes were noted and recorded.
The occurrence and spread of this condition are on the rise in the city of Jazan and on the outskirts.

圆锥角膜是一种非炎症性、慢性、特发性角膜疾病，其特征是角膜中央或旁中央部分变薄。在本研究中，我们展示了沙特阿拉伯吉赞市私立眼科中心眼科接受激光视力矫正（LVC）屈光手术患者中圆锥角膜的患病率。
对2019年1月1日至2019年12月31日期间吉赞市眼科的数据进行回顾性横断面研究。本研究纳入了534例患者的1068只眼，其中男性占56.8%。患者的平均年龄为28.5（标准差=8.3）岁。分析人员对报告进行卡方检验。患病率在一年中的特定时间以95%置信区间（CI）计算。
明显单侧圆锥角膜的患病率为3%，双侧圆锥角膜的患病率为18.72%；另一方面，疑似单侧圆锥角膜的患病率为16.48%，双侧圆锥角膜的患病率为9.36%。注意到并记录了两眼之间的显著差异。
这种疾病在吉赞市及其郊区的发生和传播正在增加。
