Optical coherence tomography combined with videokeratography to differentiate mild keratoconus subtypes

Abstract

PURPOSE: To develop parameters using a combination of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and videokeratography to detect early keratoconus. Copyright METHODS: Videokeratography, wavefront analysis, and measured OCT indices were performed on 180 normal eyes, 46 eyes with moderate keratoconus, 54 eyes with early keratoconus, 7 eyes with forme fruste keratoconus, and 16 eyes with keratoconus "suspect" to determine the most sensitive parameters for separating these groups. RESULTS: A combination of videokeratography and OCT indices (inferior-superior [I-S] value and minimum pachymetry) was statistically the most significant in separating the keratoconus groups from normal eyes (P
