Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the correlation of corneal endothelial cell density, coefficient of variation and hexagonal cell ratio with the stages of keratoconus and corneal thickness.Material and Methods: The study included 102 eyes from 51 patients. The corneal topography was performed using the Sirius corneal topographic device and the examination of the endothelium was performed using Nidek CEM-530. The patients were divided into groups in accordance with keratometry values (group 1: K2 52 D) and thinnest cornea thickness (group 1:> 450 μm, group 2: 400-450 μm, group 3:
