To characterize higher-order aberrations (HOAs) in clinical and subclinical keratoconus (KC).The study included 33, 36, and 26 patients with clinical, topographic (no clinical signs), and pretopographic (normal topography and no clinical signs) KC and 30 controls. Ocular and corneal HOAs for the 4-mm pupils were measured using a wavefront sensor and expanded up to the sixth order of Zernike polynomials. The magnitudes of trefoil, coma, tetrafoil, secondary astigmatism, and spherical aberration were calculated via Zernike vector analysis and used as HOA parameters along with total HOAs. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) values for each wavefront parameter for pretopographic KC were compared.Control eyes and eyes with pretopographic KC had significantly lower ocular or corneal total HOAs and Zernike vector terms than those with clinical KC and topographic KC, except for ocular tetrafoil between topographic KC and pretopographic KC and spherical aberration among all groups. The AUROCs for corneal total HOAs and corneal coma for pretopographic KC and control eyes were 0.781 (100% sensitivity and 47% specificity) and 0.735 (73% sensitivity and 73% specificity), respectively.Corneal total HOAs and corneal coma exhibited a potential ability to discriminate pretopographic KC from normal control eyes. |
