Relevance. Keratoconus is a disease with a multifactorial etiology, characterized by thinning of the corneal stroma. Its pathogenesis is primarily associated with the complex interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental factors. The prevalence of the disease varies significantly across countries and geographic regions. Purpose of the study. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of environmental factors in the development of keratoconus, based on literature and research evidence. Materials and methods. Data were collected from published monographs and scientific articles on keratoconus and were analyzed systematically. Results and conclusion. Keratoconus is a multifactorial disease, and its development is often determined by the interplay of hereditary predisposition and environmental factors. The prevalence of the disease varies significantly across countries and geographic regions. Among the factors contributing to this variability, ethnic origin and consanguineous marriages play an important role.
