Progressive corneal ectatic disease in pregnancy [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Optometry, 2021
Pregnancy influences ocular changes which may exacerbate existing or develop new pathology. This review summarises the existing evidence on the association between pregnancy and progressive keratoconus or iatrogenic keratectasia. Ten online databases were searched systematically.

Corneal Biomechanics in Ectatic Diseases: Refractive Surgery Implications [PDF]

The Open Ophthalmology Journal, 2017
Background:Ectasia development occurs due to a chronic corneal biomechanical decompensation or weakness, resulting in stromal thinning and corneal protrusion. This leads to corneal steepening, increase in astigmatism, and irregularity. In corneal refractive surgery, the detection of mild forms of ectasia pre-operatively is essential to avoid post ...

Multimodal diagnostics for keratoconus and ectatic corneal diseases: a paradigm shift

Eye and Vision, 2023
AbstractDifferent diagnostic approaches for ectatic corneal diseases (ECD) include screening, diagnosis confirmation, classification of the ECD type, severity staging, prognostic evaluation, and clinical follow-up. The comprehensive assessment must start with a directed clinical history.

Enhanced Diagnostics for Corneal Ectatic Diseases: The Whats, the Whys, and the Hows

Diagnostics, 2022
There are different fundamental diagnostic strategies for patients with ectatic corneal diseases (ECDs): screening, confirmation of the diagnosis, classification of the type of ECD, severity staging, prognostic assessment, and clinical follow-up. The conscious application of such strategies enables individualized treatments.

Detection of ectatic corneal diseases based on pentacam

Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik, 2016
Pentacam is a rotating Scheimpflug-based corneal and anterior segment tomographer that gives as comprehensive analysis of corneal 3D geometry. With this device the detection of mild keratoconus or ectasia susceptibility is possible. This is fundamental for screening ectasia risk prior to laser vision correction.

Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segment Implantation in a Patient with the Bowman Layer Inlay Transplantation for Keratoconus

Case Reports in Ophthalmological Medicine, 2023
Keratoconus (KC) is a bilateral ectatic corneal disease which results in changes in the corneal architecture and can lead to severe visual impairment. Treatment options depend on the stage of the disease, and they aim either at improving vision or arrest

The Importance of Diagnosing Ectatic Corneal Disease [PDF]

European Ophthalmic Review, 2017
Ectatic corneal disease (ECD) or corneal ectasia is a group of progressive eye disorders characterised by thinning and bulging of the cornea, and can result in moderate to severe impairment of vision. Recent advances in corneal imaging systems allow for the detection of mild or subclinical stages of the disease, which is fundamental in the face of ...
