Keratoconus has a common association with atopic conditions. Most keratoconus patients rub their eyes excessively. Eye-rubbing is considered the dominant aetiological factor in two-thirds of patients with keratoconus who progress to contact lens wear. A classification of keratoconus based on the dominant aetiological factors is proposed. No significant psychoneurotic factor was found in the keratoconus patients compared with patients in the control group.
圆锥角膜与特应性疾病常有关联。大多数圆锥角膜患者会过度揉眼。在三分之二进展到需要佩戴角膜接触镜的圆锥角膜患者中，揉眼被认为是主要的病因学因素。本文提出了一种基于主要病因学因素的圆锥角膜分类方法。与对照组患者相比，未在圆锥角膜患者中发现显著的精神神经因素。
