Comparison of Keratoconus Cone Location of Different Topo/tomographical Parameters

CONCLUSIONS: Despite the variability between different devices and methods; the thickness map on the Pentacam HR showed the highest correlation with the front and back elevation maps, while the RTVue epithelial thickness map showed the poorest correlation. Based on this study, epithelial thickness maps and anterior curvature maps should be utilized with caution to determine the location of the cone.PMID:33998941 | DOI:10.1080/02713683.2021.1931343
