Evaluation of the Cornea by Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography in Diseases of the Cornea

This study highlights the significant role of AS-OCT in enhancing the diagnostic accuracy of various corneal diseases. Its ability to detect additional findings in various corneal conditions such as keratoconus, corneal foreign bodies, OSSN, and KF ring in Wilson's disease underscores its value in clinical practice. The utility of AS-OCT in diagnosing subclinical corneal diseases which are beyond the scope of routine SLE has been demonstrated in our study. These capabilities make AS-OCT an effective additional diagnostic tool in evaluating cornea and should be routinely incorporated along with traditional SLE in evaluating various corneal diseases.

Abstract

This study highlights the significant role of AS-OCT in enhancing the diagnostic accuracy of various corneal diseases. Its ability to detect additional findings in various corneal conditions such as keratoconus, corneal foreign bodies, OSSN, and KF ring in Wilson's disease underscores its value in clinical practice. The utility of AS-OCT in diagnosing subclinical corneal diseases which are beyond the scope of routine SLE has been demonstrated in our study. These capabilities make AS-OCT an effective additional diagnostic tool in evaluating cornea and should be routinely incorporated along with traditional SLE in evaluating various corneal diseases.
