Corneal morphological and biomechanical parameters were measured using Scheimpflug imaging (Pentacam) and a dynamic Scheimpflug analyser (Corvis ST). Posterior segment structures were evaluated using swept\u2010source optical coherence tomography (SS\u2010OCT) and OCT angiography (SS\u2010OCTA). The radial peripapillary capillary plexus (RPCP) density, RNFL thickness and LC parameters (lamina cribrosa thickness [LCT] and lamina cribrosa curvature index [LCCI]) were measured. The relationship between corneal biomechanical parameters and structural changes in the LC was evaluated by correlation analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Biomechanical parameters were significantly poorer in the KC group compared to controls.
