The utility of measures of anterior segment parameters of a Pentacam Scheimpflug tomographer in discriminating high myopic astigmatism from keratoconus.

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to evaluate and compare anterior segment parameters between keratoconic eyes and eyes with high myopic astigmatism using Pentacam Scheimpflug tomography. This was a retrospective cross-sectional study that included sixty keratoconic eyes (thirty-two persons) and seventy-three eyes (forty-six persons) with high myopic astigmatism with mean ages 24.72 ± 11.65years and 26.60 ± 10.69years, respectively. Twenty-three parameters from the topographic map and fifteen parameters from the Belin-Ambrosió enhanced ectasia display map of the printouts of a Scheimpflug principle-based Pentacam tomographer were evaluated for their diagnostic accuracy using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. All parameters except cornea volume, anterior chamber volume, and anterior chamber angl
