I dnt think that curvature of cornea wud have any significant effect on lenght of eyeball. Otherwise procedures like lasik wud always change d length of eyeball. Still its an open question..

because in keratoconus, due to the characteristic appearance of cornea, the axial length is increased....and hence myopia.....
