Distinguishing Highly Asymmetric Keratoconus Eyes Using Dual Scheimpflug/Placido Analysis.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To identify the best metrics or combination of metrics that provide the highest predictive power between normal eyes and the clinically unaffected eye of patients with highly asymmetric keratoconus using data from a Dual Scheimpflug/Placido device. DESIGN:Retrospective case-control study. METHODS:Combined Dual Scheimpflug/Placido imaging was obtained from the Galilei G4 device (Ziemer Ophthalmic Systems AG, Port, Switzerland) in 31 clinically unaffected eyes with highly asymmetric keratoconus and 178 eyes from 178 patients with bilaterally normal corneal examinations that underwent uneventful LASIK with at least 1 year follow-up. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to determine area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity for 87 metrics, and lo
