PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of keratoconus (KC) and keratoconus suspect (KCS) among patients seeking refractive surgery in Syria.
METHODS
This is a retrospective multicenter screening study. The study was conducted in Damascus University, Tishreen University, and Tartous Specialist Eye Center (a private center). Data were collected from refractive surgery candidates referred for preoperative evaluation before laser keratomileusis, photorefractive keratectomy, intrastromal corneal rings, and phakic intraocular lens implantation. Corneal parameters were obtained by Scheimpflug-Placido tomography, Sirius (CSO, Italy).
RESULTS
A total of 1479 patients were included in this analysis. The prevalence rates of KC and KCS were 18.19% (269/1479) and 13.52% (200/1479), respectively. In addition, patients with KC were found to have higher percentages of eye rubbing and astigmatism than suspect and normal ( < 0.0001).
CONCLUSION
High prevalence rate of KC was found among patients seeking refractive surgery in Syria. Although this study was carried out on a highly selective population, it may reflect a high prevalence rate in a general population in Syria.
目的
本研究旨在确定叙利亚寻求屈光手术患者中圆锥角膜（KC）和疑似圆锥角膜（KCS）的患病率。
方法
这是一项回顾性多中心筛查研究。该研究在大马士革大学、塔尔图斯大学和塔图什眼科专科医院（私立中心）进行。研究收集了拟行激光角膜磨镶术、光性折射角膜切削术、间质角膜环和有晶状体眼人工晶状体植入术术前评估的屈光手术候选者的数据。角膜参数通过 Scheimpflug-Placido 断层摄影术、Sirius（CSO，意大利）获得。
结果
本分析共纳入 1479 例患者。KC 和 KCS 的患病率分别为 18.19%（269/1479）和 13.52%（200/1479）。此外，与疑似和正常患者相比，KC 患者的揉眼和散光百分比更高（<0.0001）。
结论
在叙利亚寻求屈光手术的患者中发现了高患病率的 KC。尽管本研究是在高度选择的人群中进行的，但它可能反映了叙利亚一般人群中的高患病率。
