“…Surgical intervention resulted in remarkable IOP lowering associated with an unexpected remarkable progression of KC findings, which was followed by subsequent years of spontaneous gradual regression of KC indi-ces, with maintenance of a stable lowered IOP. The report adds to a few existing reports on the coincidence of KC and JG [5], and, more importantly, documents a not previously reported pattern of the dynamics of the cornea along various stages of glaucoma control in keratoconic eyes.…”
