Hormonal imbalances are likely to affect the corneal metabolism and may be also associated with Keratoconus. Among the various endocrinologic dysfunctions assumed so far, thyroid gland dysfunction (TGD) (hypo- or hyperthyroidism; comprised as TGD) is frequently associated with eye diseases such as Graves disease
Detailed Description:
