Pachy Min

BAD-D: Belin-Ambrósio deviation index; KI: keratoconus Index; F: Holladay equivalent keratometry value in the steep meridian on the front surface; Pachy Min: corneal thickness at the thinnest point of the cornea; CXCL8: chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 8 = IL-8: interleukin-8; MMP-9: matrix metalloproteinase-9; t-PA: tissue plasminogen activator (bold values represent negative correlations).
