Repeatability of epithelium thickness measured by an AS-OCT in different grades keratoconus and compared to AS-OCT/Placido topography
To compare agreement of corneal epithelium thickness (ET) between AS-OCT system (RTVue, Optovue, Fremont, USA) and AS-OCT/Placido topographer (MS-39, CSO, Florence, Italy) in different stages keratoconus (KC) eyes, and to assess the repeatability of RTVue AS-OCT.

Effect of keratoplasty on the quality of life of keratoconus patients
In this study, we compare the quality of life of patients with keratoconus in the early (stages 1 and 2) or advanced (stages 3 and 4) stages of the Krumeich classification, as well as patients who have had keratoconus treated by keratoplasty. Quality of life was assessed using the NEI-VFQ 25 questionnaire, the most widely used for keratoconus. An aberrometric examination (OQAS®; HD Analyser, Visiometrics, Terrassa, Spain) was also performed to assess patients' quality of vision. Our results show that keratoplasty provides an improvement in quality of life compared with advanced-stage keratoconus in the areas of distance (...

Atopic Keratoconjunctivitis: Pathophysiology, Clinic, and Potential New Therapeutic Concepts
Klin Monbl Augenheilkd. 2024 Apr 11. doi: 10.1055/a-2244-2885. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic recurrent inflammatory skin disease with a bipolar age distribution in childhood, adolescence and middle adulthood. Up to 50% of AD patients show ocular involvement, which can be potentially sight threatening. Clinically, the majority of cases present with atopic blepharo(kerato)conjunctivitis or atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC); other clinical variants from this group of inflammatory ocular surface diseases are keratoconjunctivitis vernalis in childhood and adolescence and allergic conjunctivit...

Higher order aberrations in keratoconus
ConclusionsEarly diagnosis can lead to early treatment and may allow for arresting progression, thereby improving the long-term prognosis. With the acceleration of refractive surgery, it is important to identify patients with keratoconus, as they are usually contraindicated for refractive surgery. (Source: International Ophthalmology)
