Manifest KC was seen in 7% of cases, suspect KC was found in 27% of cases, and 66% had no evidence of KC. For the manifest KC, 56% had clinical signs, while 44% were diagnosed by tomography. For the purpose of statistical analysis, the cohort was divided into group KC (manifest or suspicious KC) and group non-KC (no KC). The mean age was 11.2\u2009years in group KC, and 9\u2009years in group non-KC ( p &lt; 0.001). The mean duration of allergic symptoms was 3.75\u2009years in group KC, and 2.5\u2009years in group non-KC ( p = 0.001). The mean duration of eye rubbing was 2.5\u2009years in group KC, and 0.83\u2009years in group non-KC ( p = 0.02). Systemic atopy was present in 35.3% of group KC, and in 12.5% in group non-KC ( p = 0.005).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The overall prevalence of KC was 34%.
