摘要: We report a case of 21-year-old male patient who underwent corneal cross-linking (CXL) due to bilateral progressive keratoconus. Topographical screening his family members was performed for the detection possible familial keratoconus and showed abnormal topographical patterns resembling Forme Fruste Keratoconus (FFK) in all family. The reported keratoconic that CXL only individual this referred eye rubbing personal ocular history; medical history other clear. Eye could be adjuvant risk factor contributes conversion FFK clinical
