Purpose: Evaluation of changes observed in corneal topographic index and corneal thickness after cross-binding treatment of keratoconus. Work Plan: Retrospective Observative Study Patients and Methods: Data of patients applied corneal collagen cross-connection treatment for the treatment of keratokonus was collected. Central cornea thickness SKK , maximum and average keratometry Kmax Kort , values and topographic indices: index of surface variance ISV , index of vertical asymmetry IVA , keratoconus index KI , central keratoconus index CKI , minimum radius of curvature Rmin , index of height asymmetry IHA and index of height decentration IHD Pentacam and Wavelight-Allegretto Wave Topolyzer devices. The follow-up period was 18 months. Results: In the study, 15 eyes of 10 patients with keratoconus disease were evaluated. The central cornea thickness declined statistically significantly p=0,003 1 month after the surgery but there was no statistically significant difference in the final follow-up values compared to the pre-operative values p>0,05 . The Kmax and Short values were not statistically different from the pre-operative values in recent tests p>0,05 . Many corneal topography indices statistically significantly improved after the 6th month after surgery.
