The global market for scleral lenses is witnessing a significant upswing, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3% over the next decade. According to a recent report by Future ...

People with trisomy 21, or Down syndrome, have a significantly elevated risk for keratoconus, with many reports citing a 30% ...

It may be possible to integrate a keratoconus grading system into a swept-source optical coherence tomography device. A numeric swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT)-based keratoconus ...

Epithelial thickness mapping cannot reliably detect subclinical keratoconus, although it does have utility in early manifest keratoconus diagnosis. Corneal epithelial thickness metrics have limited ...

Ex vivo models of eccentric keratoconus and different types of lenticules were created. More investigation is needed to develop customization algorithms. ATHENS, Greece — Implantation of ...

Over time, excessive rubbing can weaken and distort the cornea, leading to a condition called keratoconus. This can result in blurry vision, light sensitivity, and in severe cases, may even ...

Background: Keratoconus (KC) is a bilateral, asymmetric, progressive thinning of the cornea that causes a decrease in optical quality due to induced myopia, irregular astigmatism, and higher order ...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish a novel bilateral differential topographic algorithm and assess its efficacy for screening of keratoconus and corneal ectasia before corneal ...
