Subclinical keratoconus and inflammatory molecules from tears.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Tissue degradation in corneal thinning disorders, such as keratoconus (KC), involves the expression of inflammatory mediators. The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of proinflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) in tears from both eyes of unilateral keratoconus (KC) patients. METHODS Thirty patients diagnosed as having asymmetrical KC (30 K...
متن کاملPentacam top indices for diagnosing subclinical and definite keratoconus
PURPOSE To determine pachymetric, aberrometric, and topometric indices in patients with definite and subclinical keratoconus and the validity of these indices in the diagnosis of keratoconus. METHODS We evaluated 262 keratoconic and 97 healthy eyes in this study. Pentacam HR examination was performed for all participants, and the data of all pachymetric, aberrometric, and topometric indices w...

متن کاملPrevalence of Keratoconus and Subclinical Keratoconus in Subjects with Astigmatism Using Pentacam Derived Parameters
PURPOSE To determine the prevalence of keratoconus (KCN) and subclinical KCN among subjects with two or more diopters (D) of astigmatism, and to compare Pentacam parameters among these subjects. METHODS One hundred and twenty eight eyes of 64 subjects with astigmatism ≥2D were included in the study. All subjects underwent a complete ophthalmic examination which included refraction, visual acu...
