This observational study, called the K-Map Study, is looking at how common keratoconus (KC) is in children and young adults around the world. Keratoconus is an eye condition that can cause blurry vision due to changes in the front clear part of your eye (cornea). Researchers believe it might be more common than previously thought. To find out, they will use a special camera called a Rotating Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam HR) to take pictures of the eyes of children and adolescents aged 6 to 23. You can join if you are in this age range and don't have any other eye conditions. The study aims to enroll 20,000 participants globally to get a clearer picture of KC prevalence.
