Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate quantitative topographic parameters of the cornea and to define topographic cone patterns and PACHYMETRY in a series of KERATOCONUS patients.Methods: We prospectively evaluated topographic findings of 130 eyes of 73 patients using Orbscan corneal topography system. The location, anterior and posterior surface elevation, curvature, amount of astigmatism and PACHYMETRY were analyzed with special reference to the central point of corneal, the apex and the thinnest point.Results: The mean age of patients was 27/31 years ± 9.30 (SD). Fifty seven patients (67.6%) had bilaterial and sixteen (12.3%) had unilateral KERATOCONUS.Most cones (64.6%) were located in the inferior temporal quadrant. 32.3% of cones were restricted to the central cornea and 4 were above horizontal meridian. Maximum apex elevation was 68.9D. The mean elevation of the apex was (0.195±0.055) mm. The mean distance between the apex and central point was (0.697±327) mm.The mean thickest of thinnest point of cornea was 398pm (range 143-551pm).Conclusion: Orbscan can provide accurate and subtle information about the shape and thickness of KERATOCONUS which can help for early diagnosis of this disease.Orbscan topography system may be helpful in identifying patients who are potentially at risk for developing ectasia after lasik.
