    Keratoconus is a progressive corneal disease affecting young individuals, leading to visual deterioration and irregular astigmatism.

  • 2

    Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) is an effective treatment to stabilize keratoconus and prevent disease progression.

  • 3

    The study aimed to evaluate changes in choroidal thickness (CT) and choroidal vascular index (CVI) after CXL in keratoconus patients.

  • 4

    Patients were selected based on specific criteria, including a clinical diagnosis of keratoconus and no systemic diseases.

  • 5

    Measurements of CT and CVI were performed using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) following the CXL procedure.
