Multivariate assessment of computer-analyzed corneal topographers.

چکیده
Methodological aspects of multivariate statistical models to describe and to assess data from computer-analyzed corneal topographers (CACT) are considered. The data generated by repeated curvature mappings of calibrated steel balls are discussed in detail with the objective of formulating the basic questions and suggesting directions to assess data from clinical applications of CACT. The interpretation of seemingly straightforward concepts such as accuracy and precision is revisited with the objective of understanding its meaning in future clinical and experimental applications of CACT. Some of the statistical problems related to the analysis of corneal astigmatism based on CACT data are also discussed.

Corneal topography in keratoconus: state of the art.
The morphological characterization of the cornea using corneal topographers is a widespread clinical practice that is essential for the diagnosis of keratoconus. The current state of this non-invasive exploratory technique has evolved with the possibility of achieving a great number of measuring points of both anterior and posterior corneal surfaces, which is possible due to the development of ...
متن کاملAsphericity of the anterior human cornea with different corneal diameters.
PURPOSE To measure the anterior corneal asphericity (Q) with different corneal diameters. SETTING Department of Physics (Optometry), University of Minho, Braga, Portugal. METHODS Thirty-six eyes of 36 patients were evaluated using a videokeratoscope, and the Q-values were recorded. Topographic data were also analyzed using Vol-CT 6.89 software (Sarver & Associates, Inc) to obtain the Q-valu...

The main objective of this work is to demonstrate the relation between corneal surface imperfections and retinal image imperfections. Its originality resides on the fact that specialized literature approximate the eye and the cornea as mathematical surfaces to explain simple refraction problems (myopic, hyperopic, astigmatic), whereas in the present work we have used topographic data for in viv...
