New Approach for Correction of Error Associated With Keratometric Estimation of Corneal Power in Keratoconus

Abstract

The use of a single value of nk for the calculation of the total corneal power in keratoconus has been shown to be imprecise, leading to inaccuracies in the detection and classification of this corneal condition. Furthermore, our study shows the relevance of corneal thickness in corneal power calculations in keratoconus.
