Abstract:
Diagnostic value of confocal microscopy in subclinical corneal ectasia is analysed. Morphological changes were revealed in 71.2% of cases with subclinical keratoconus. Results of the study let us reveal typical morphological abnormalities in subclinical keratoconus, although these changes are not specific for this condition. The method is also not informative for detecting of early signs of pellucid marginal degeneration. Confocal microscopy may be considered an additional specifying method in diagnostic algorithm of subclinical corneal ectasia.
