Early diagnosis of keratoconus using corneal biomechanics and OCT derived technologies

Eye and Vision
Background Early detection of keratoconus is essential for maximizing the potential of cross-linking treatments designed to halt keratoconus progression, minimizing the risks of iatrogenic ectasia as well as reducing the need for corneal transplantation.

Different keratoconus definitions can lead to substantial prevalence disparities in population-based studies

Scientific Reports
This report explores the prevalence of keratoconus in a population-based cohort of adults aged 40 or older according to ten different definitions. All Rotterdam Study participants with reliable Pentacam scans and no prior corneal refractive surgery were ...
