Maximal keratometry on Orbscan best correlates with clinical keratoconus aspects. Further research is needed to refine these clinico-topographical correlations for better patient assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal topography
  • Keratoconus research

Context:

  • Keratoconus is a progressive corneal ectasia affecting visual acuity.
  • Accurate topographical assessment is crucial for diagnosis and management.
  • Orbscan technology offers detailed corneal surface and thickness data.

Purpose:

  • To investigate correlations between clinical findings and topographical parameters in keratoconus using Orbscan.
  • To identify specific Orbscan topographical metrics that best reflect clinical disease severity.

Summary:

  • A retrospective analysis of 228 keratoconic eyes correlated best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and corneal opacities with 26 Orbscan topographical parameters.
  • Maximal keratometry, SimKmax, and mean 3-mm zone power showed strong correlations with clinical aspects.

  • Anterior elevation map amplitude and minimal pachymetry also correlated with BCVA, though results showed variability.

    • Impact:

    • Orbscan provides valuable topographical data for keratoconus assessment.
    • Identified key parameters may inform a novel clinico-topographical classification system.
    • Further prospective studies are required to validate findings and reduce result scattering.
