Keratoconus is a progressive corneal ectatic disorder, characterised by thinning, protrusion and irregularity. Corneal imaging is crucial in keratoconus detection and progression analysis. Detection of keratoconus in early stages is important and has therapeutic consequence, whether to plan a surgical intervention or calculating an intraocular lens, before cataract surgery, as standard lens calculation techniques may lead to wrong results in patients with a keratoconus.~The Eyestar 900 is a swept-source OCT biometer and has the potential to be used for early keratoconus identification and progression analysis.
Monocentric clinical study to develop an imaging analysis algorithm for the Eyestar 900 to identify keratoconus corneas and improve biometry for intraocular lens calculations
