Corneal thickness and curvature were assessed in 170 keratoconic eyes of 89 residents of the French Caribbean Islands (FCI) and 159 keratoconic eyes of 91 residents of the Aquitaine region of southwest France. A group of age\u2010matched keratoconus\u2010free patients who had been referred for refractive surgery owing to myopia (173 FCI [173 eyes; 87 individuals] and Aquitaine [181 eyes; 93 individuals]) were also assessed.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> The mean age at keratoconus diagnosis was significantly higher among FCI than Aquitaine residents (p\u2003=\u20030.009). The mean keratometric (Km) reading was statistically higher for keratoconic FCI than Aquitaine patients, at 48.06 versus 46.21 diopters (p\u2003=\u20030.001). This difference was more pronounced among patients aged &gt;40\u2003years than those \u226440\u2003years (p\u2003=\u20030.009). Patients with keratoconus showed no significant difference in mean central corneal thickness and thinnest corneal point values, irrespective of region. Myopic individuals from the FCI, however, had significantly lower mean central corneal thickness and thinnest corneal point measurements than Aquitaine myopics, irrespective of age group (p\u2003\u2264\u20030.0008).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:\u2002<\/jats:bold> The corneas of patients with keratoconus of African\u2010Caribbean and Caucasian origins are of similar thickness.
