Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to create an AI system to differentiate between normal corneas, subclinical conditions, and keratoconus using data from Pentacam and Corvis ST imaging technologies.
  • A total of 1,668 tomographic and 611 biomechanical images from various patients were analyzed, employing different convolutional neural network models to improve detection accuracy.
  • The best-performing AI model achieved a high accuracy rate (AUC of 0.991) for distinguishing corneal conditions, showing potential for enhanced diagnosis and treatment decisions in clinical practice.

Purpose: To assess the accuracy of various Pentacam indices in distinguishing keratoconus (KC) in pediatric patients with high astigmatism and to establish appropriate cutoff values.

Methods: This prospective multicenter cross-sectional study included 312 eyes from 167 patients aged 6 to 18 years (mean age, 13.1 ± 3.

Comparison of the quantitative contrast sensitivity function between early keratoconus and normal eyes.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the contrast sensitivity function (qCSF) in eyes with early keratoconus (Early-KC) and normal control (NC) eyes to understand differences in visual performance.
  • Results showed that eyes with Early-KC, even with normal corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), had significantly lower contrast sensitivity at both low and high spatial frequencies compared to NC eyes.
  • The findings indicate that qCSF testing is a useful tool for detecting visual impairments in early keratoconus, as it reveals subtle changes in visual function despite normal acuity measurements.
