Evaluation of the anterior chamber angle in keratoconus and normal subjects

Highlights • Anterior chamber angle in keratoconus was compared to an age-matched normal cohort. • In each group there was no statistical difference between nasal and temporal angles. • Nasal and temporal angles showed no statistical difference between the two groups. • Visante OCT tended to estimat...

More Information
Summary:Highlights • Anterior chamber angle in keratoconus was compared to an age-matched normal cohort. • In each group there was no statistical difference between nasal and temporal angles. • Nasal and temporal angles showed no statistical difference between the two groups. • Visante OCT tended to estimate the angle as narrower than the Orbscan II. • It is concluded that in keratoconus the anterior chamber angle is unchanged.
