AIM: To compare the anterior chamber volume and corneal volume using Pentacam in people with early keratoconus, subclinical keratoconus, and healthy subjects.METHODS: This epidemiologic study was performed on 63 patients who were candidates for refractive surgery. We classified our patients into three groups as normal, subclinical keratoconus, and early keratoconus according to the Amsler-Krumeich criteria. We collected demographic information, including age and sex, and obtained a full medical history of the patients. Complete visual examination was performed for all patients. Then, using Pentacam, corneal volume and anterior chamber volume were measured among three groups. RESULTS: Corneal volume in the control group was significantly higher than the subclinical keratoconus and early keratoconus groups(PP>0.05).CONCLUSION: Measuring the corneal volume can help to distinguish the eyes with subclinical keratoconus and early keratoconus from normal eyes. The chamber volume might not differ remarkably among people with subclinical keratoconus, early keratoconus, and those with normal eyes. |
