Screening of Keratoconus Using Autokeratometer and Keratometer Keratoconus Index
Diagnostics, 2021 The keratometer keratoconus index (KKI) is a diagnostic index for the risk of keratoconus calculated from autokeratometer test values. We partially modified the KKI equation and assessed it without limiting the target age and severity of keratoconus ...

An adaptive algorithm for the cornea modeling from keratometric data [PDF]
, 2010 In this paper we describe an adaptive and multi-scale algorithm for the parsimonious fit of the corneal surface data that allows to adapt the number of functions used in the reconstruction to the conditions of each cornea. The method implements also a dynamical selection of the parameters and the management of noise.

Systemic Associations with Keratoconus
Life, 2023 Keratoconus is a disease of the cornea that results in progressive steepening and thinning of the cornea and subsequent vision loss. It nearly always presents as a bilateral disease, suggesting that there is an underlying abnormality of the corneas that ...

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.In this research, the amniotic membrane is sought to be enhanced biologically by treating it with primary cultured corneal cells. The findings indicate that amniotic membranes conditioned with limbal stem cells serve as an effective wound dressing that mimics corneal tissue, offering better cell adhesion, and healing properties, paving the way for ...

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Objective To evaluate the effects of customized corneal collagen cross‐linking (CXL) on higher‐order aberrations (HOAs) in keratoconus (KC): vertical coma (VC), horizontal coma (HC), spherical aberration (SA), trefoil (TF) and astigmatism, compared with the same effects in healthy eyes undergoing CXL for low‐grade myopia.

Skin Biophysical Characteristics in Patients with Keratoconus: A Controlled Study
Scientifica, 2016 Background. Keratoconus is a relatively common corneal disease causing significant visual disability. Individuals with connective tissue disorders that affect the skin such as Marfan’s syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome or patients with atopic ...
