Assessment of macular parameter changes in patients with keratoconus using optical coherence tomography

摘要: Keratoconus is typically diagnosed through changes at the anterior ocular surface. However, we wished to assess if macular parameter might also occur in these patients. We assessed posterior use of optical coherence tomography and compared a nonkeratoconus patient group. All subjects underwent clinical examination including thickness measurements. The generalized estimation equation model was used estimate means compare differences various measurements between keratoconus A total 129 eyes 67 cases 174 87 controls were analysed. individuals presented with significantly greater mean retinal central fovea, inner, outer macula group (p < 0.05). In addition, presenting early signs had inner volume This study indicates retina appears thicken fovea increased individuals. Thus posit that structural exist are additional those seen segment.
