Aim: To assess the changes in corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor (CRF) 1‑year following transepithelial corneal collagen cross‑linking (CXL) treatment in eyes of children with keratoconus. Methods: This case series was conducted in 22 eyes of 22 children. Children aged 1 D in manifest cylinder or an increase >0.5 D in manifest refractive spherical equivalent, we considered keratoconus to be of progressive nature. Eye with corneal thickness of 1 D in the steepest keratometry, an increase in >1 D in manifest cylinder or an increase >0.5 D in manifest refractive spherical equivalent after 12 months of follow‑up. All data were recorded in preformatted data collection forms and analyzed. Statistical calculations were performed using SPSS software ( version 21.0, SPSS Inc., NY, USA). The Student’s t‑test for paired data was used to compare preoperative data and postoperative data. The results were considered statistically significant at P
