Keratoconus Detection by Ultrasound

NCT01403129 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 250

Last updated 2021-08-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Keratoconus (KC) is a corneal disease which will in many cases ultimately require corneal transplantation to maintain vision. Early detection, which is not possible with current technology, would allow early treatment and prevent severe damage to KC corneas inadvertently operated upon for correction of vision. The investigators' aim is to combine measurements of different properties of the cornea to develop means for early detection of KC.
