We aimed to assess the relationship between quality of life and corneal tomography indices, irrespective of visual acuity. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p> This was a cross-sectional study using a translated and validated Keratoconus Outcomes Research Questionnaire (KORQ) in Arabic language. We screened patients with keratoconus using the Belin\/Ambr\u00f3sio D-Index. We included the best-seeing eye in each patient with keratoconus, with a best corrected visual acuity better than 0.5. We collected variables including KORQ scores, flattest meridian keratometry, steepest meridian keratometry, mean keratometry front, maximum simulated keratometry, astigmatism front, Q value front, and thickness at the thinnest location. We performed linear regression analysis to identify predictors of the visual function score and symptom score. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Sixty-nine patients were included in this study, 43 (62.3%) male and 26 (37.7%) female patients, with a mean age 34.0\u2009\u00b1\u200911.50 years. The only predictor for visual function score was sex (\u03b2\u2009=\u200911.64, 95% confidence interval: 3.50\u201319.78).
