Purpose: To optimize artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to integrate Scheimpflug-based corneal tomography and biomechanics to enhance ectasia detection.
Design: Multicenter cross-sectional case-control retrospective study.
Methods: A total of 3886 unoperated eyes from 3412 patients had Pentacam and Corvis ST (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH) examinations.
Corneal ectasia is a complication of refractive surgery, and keratoconus is a contraindication to this type of procedure.

Here we report the clinical outcome of a patient 15 years after advanced surface ablation in a case of mild (fruste) keratoconus.
