: The purpose of the study was to determine the distribution of the anterior chamber angle (ACA) within a population-based study sample in Germany and to find correlations between age, sphere, and biometric parameters of the anterior chamber. : A total of 500 eyes, approximately 100 eyes per decade starting with patient age of 20 years, of 463 patients with an average age of 45.2 ± 14.

Aim: To define variables for the evaluation of keratoconus progression and to determine cut-off values.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study (2010-2016), 265 eyes of 165 patients diagnosed with keratoconus underwent two Scheimpflug measurements (Pentacam) that took place 1 year apart ±3 months. Variables used for keratoconus detection were evaluated for progression and a correlation analysis was performed.

Purpose: To identify tomographic variables best suited for detecting keratoconus before manifestation of ectatic changes and showing disease progression in the early stage.

Methods: Twenty-seven patients with diagnosed unilateral keratoconus were followed up for their fellow eye, which had not yet shown any ectatic changes, to determine initial change indicators toward keratoconus disease. Variables were compared to 50 normal eyes without any known disease.
