- Keratoconus is a corneal disease affecting 1 in 3,000 to 1 in 10,000 people, causing weakening and shape changes in the cornea, with its causes largely unknown.* -
- Advancements in computerized corneal topography have spurred interest in understanding the Q value, a crucial parameter representing the cornea's aspheric shape and influencing optical properties.* -
- This study emphasizes the importance of the corneal Q value for personalized treatment in refractive surgeries and intraocular lens implantation, particularly for patients with conditions like cataracts or brain tumors.*
