Abstract

to evaluate the characteristics of the cone and the keratometric values of keratoconus at its various stages. A non-inflammatory condition with ectatic corneal disorder that is characterised by the corneal protrusion and thinning that could possibly lead to corneal irregularity which could possibly results in reduced visual acuity. Materials and Methodology: The study had been carried out in 110 cases with 195 eyes that are reported in an eye clinic during the stipulated study time. Corneal topography is eventually monitored by and placebo topographer based on the reflection system from cornea. And the corneal topographer that had been used include oculus 3M.The topographical monitoring of the cone patterns based on the image of the tangential map pf oculus topographer. Results: This retrospective study was conducted in 110 cases wherein 195 eyes were evaluated and all of them were diagnosed with keratoconus. The average patient age was estimated around 25.21± 11.45 years ranging from 10 to 60 years old among which eighty five cases out of 110 cases were presented with bilateral keratoconus. Conclusion: a newer, more descriptive and various clinical useful multi-parameter staging for keratoconus progression by using the patients natural history, cone’s keratometry, decentration and thickness Since there were no correlations were found to be inconclusive in establishing a correlation between the other cone characteristics that include corneal locations topographical patterns, morphology and the stage of keratoconus.
