Geometrical characterization of the corneo-scleral transition in normal patients with Fourier domain optical coherence tomography

ConclusionsThe CSAn presents a more concave profile for the normal population, whereas the CSAt presents a planar-convex profile with a great influence of age. In particular, the older the patient, the more convex the CSAt is. This age-related evolution of the CSAt and the concavity on the nasal direction must be considered when prescribing scleral contact lenses or when performing limbal incisions during refractive interventions.
