The average corneal thickness in a group of patients with KCS did not differ significantly from that in a control group. Within the patient group the corneal thickness decreased with decreasing lysozyme concentrations and also with decreasing Schirmer values, but the correlation was weak in both cases. The average central corneal thickness with severe and very severe KCS was greater than that of patients with mild KCS and the control groups. The average corneal thickness in patients with mild KCS was less than that of the control group, but not significantly so. Because of the comparatively small number of patients with severe KCS, an all over increase in corneal thickness in patients with KCS could not be demonstrated.
