Distinguishing Healthy and Keratoconic Eyes Using Ultrahigh-Resolution OCT

Completed

• Conditions: Keratoconus
• Interventions: Device: OCT-scanning

• Registration Number: NCT03184610
• Lead Sponsor: Medical University of Vienna

Brief Summary

The OCT used in this trial offers the advantage of both a non-contact method and a very high axial resolution. Determined parameters with the highest potential of diagnostic discrimination between eyes with Keratoconus and healthy eyes are investigated. Aim of this trial is to investigate differences of specific parameters of epithelium thickness maps at healthy eyes and eyes with Keratoconus.
