Pediatric keratoconus is generally attributed to disease manifesting in patients less than 18 years of age. However, studies that looked at progression in different age groups used varying age criteria. </p>}, number={1}, journal={Pakistan Journal of Ophthalmology}, author={Denisova, Ksenia and Chuck, Roy S.}, year={2021}, month={Dec.} }
