Popis: Abstract This study aims to evaluate the macular and the optic nerve head thickness and vascular profiles in KC patients and compare them with two groups of healthy emmetrope and subjects with myopic-astigmatism. This cross-sectional study was conducted at Khatam-Al-Anbia Eye Hospital between 2022 and 2023. Subjects aged 18 to 40 were prone to be included in the study. The participants in this study were grouped into three categories: emmetrope (E), myopic-astigmatic (MA), and keratoconus (KC). All participants underwent a comprehensive ocular examination, as well as macular and optic nerve head (ONH) optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). In this study, 143 subjects, 50 cases in the KCN group, 46 cases in the E group, and 47 cases in the MA group, enrolled. There was no difference between the three groups regarding age (p = 0.123) and gender (p = 0.632). The superficial and deep capillary densities at the fovea, parafovea, and perifovea were significantly lower in KC patients than in the control groups (p
