Abstract
The CLEK Study confirmed previous reports of the increased likelihood of PK associated with corneal scarring, steeper keratometry values, poorer visual acuity, and poorer contact lens comfort. The CLEK Study is among the first to report an increased risk of PK associated with younger age, worse vision-related quality of life, and flatter contact lens fits. Knowledge of these factors is beneficial to clinicians in patient education and may be useful in disease management.
