Purpose:
|
To evaluate factors affecting elevation difference of cornea in patients with mild and moderate keratoconus
|
|
Methods:
|
122 eyes of 79 (30 female, 49 male) patients were enrolled. K max, k mean, corneal astigmatism, thinnest corneal thickness, horizontal and vertical distances of thinnest point to apex and asphericity ( all measured by pentacam) were correlated with anterior and posterior elevation differences of cornea ( measured with Belin/Ambrosio Enhanced Ectesia Display of Pentacam ).
|
|
Results:
|
All indexes were highly correlated with elevation differences of cornea except horizontal distance of thinnest point to apex (p < 0.001 for all).In stepwise multiple regression analysis only K max, k mean and corneal astigmatism were highly correlated with both anterior and posterior elevation differences of cornea.
|
|
Conclusion:
|
K max, k mean and corneal astigmatism are pentacam indexes mostly correlated with anterior and posterior elevation differences of cornea.
