Changes in corneal thickness in keratoconic eyes with variation in scleral contact lens central clearance
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-30)Purpose: There has been a resurgence of scleral lens wear, particularly for patients with corneal ectasia, such as keratoconus. This method of lens correction provides good visual acuity for these individuals and is often ... -
Impact of contact lens wear on epithelial alterations in keratoconus
(Elsevier, 2021-03)Purpose The purpose of this study was to characterize the central epithelial thickness (CET) of penetrating keratoplasty corneal specimens obtained from patients with keratoconus (KC) and correlate the histological patterns ... -
In Vivo Imaging of Corneal Conditions using Optical Coherence Tomography
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Purposes: To use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to image and quantify the effect of various corneal conditions, in terms of corneal, stromal and epithelial thickness, and light backscatter. To assess the changes ...
