Patterns and Classifications in Ectatic Corneal Diseases
2016Classification of ectatic corneal diseases is important not only for diagnosis, but also for treatment planning. There are three major entities that can be differentiated in terms of morphology and tomographic features; they are keratoconus (KC), pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD), and keratoglobus (KG). In addition, there are several terms under the

Analyzing Tomographic Thickness for Detecting Corneal Ectatic Diseases
2016Keratoconus and other ectatic corneal diseases (ECD) are classically referred as noninflammatory thinning disorders. While ECD are characterized by progressive bulging with steepening and conic protrusion of the cornea, thinning is a hallmark. Clinical diagnosis of moderate to advanced disease is not difficult because of the presence of irregular ...
