Abstract
Purpose :
To evaluate the corneal volume, pachymetry, and correlation of anterior and posterior corneal shape in subclinical and clinical keratoconus.
Methods :
Eyes were placed into 3 groups: keratoconus grade I, grade II, subclinical and a control group. All eyes undewent corneal curvature evaluation by Scheimpflug imaging (Sirius). The posterior-anterior corneal power ratio was also calculated.
Results :
172 eyes (92 patients) were evaluated. Astigmatism and keratometry of both surfaces were significantly higher in the 3 groups (P=<0.05). Posterior astigmatism was significantly higher in the subclinical group . A correlation in astigmatism between the anterior and posterior surface was found in all groups.
Conclusions :
The correlation between both surfaces was low, and the correlation between anterior and posterior astigmatism was maintained
