Anterior chamber parameters in early and advanced keratoconus. A meridian by meridian analysis

Keratoconus is an ectatic corneal disorder, characterized by progressive thinning of the stroma and cone-like protrusion, which may lead to irregular astigmatism, myopia and severe visual impairment [1]. Although corneal topography has traditionally been the most sensitive method used to detect keratoconus [1], tomography (e.g., a Scheimpflug based imaging system such as the Pentacam, Optikger äte Oculus GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany) is currently the best and most widely available technique to diagnose early keratoconus [2].
