Summary

The purpose of this study was to compare Scheimpflug corneal tomography findings in keratoconus and high myopic astigmatic eyes, as well as to establish the parameters distinguishing keratoconus from high myopic astigmatism.

Conditions

  • Keratoconus
  • High Myopia

Interventions

OTHER

pentacam scheimpflug tomography

Pentacam tomography is not radiation-based. It uses Scheimpflug imaging, which involves a rotating camera that captures multiple images of the anterior segment of the eye. The system employs light-based technology to measure the front and back surfaces of the cornea, along with the anterior chamber and lens, creating a 3D model of the anterior eye structures. it uses light instead of ionizing radiation (like X-rays), it is considered safe and non-invasive for routine use in ophthalmology. * It was used to assess 23 parameters from topographic maps and 15 parameters from Belin-Ambrosio enhanced ectasia (BAD) display maps. * Parameters included keratometry readings, anterior and posterior sagittal curvature, corneal thickness, anterior chamber volume, and several indices from the BAD display map. * These parameters were analyzed to discriminate between keratoconus and high myopic astigmatism using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves for diagnostic accuracy.
