Description
Robert Herber and co-authors compare eye imaging systems for spotting early corneal ectasia in a 2026 prospective study. One eye can look healthy while its partner eye clearly shows the bulging disorder keratoconus. The team tested three devices on healthy eyes, keratoconus eyes, and symptom-free fellow eyes.
A swept-source OCT score and a combined shape-and-stiffness index performed best at separating the quiet fellow eyes from healthy ones. Other common indices lagged, with lower accuracy in that hard task. All systems separated clear disease from health well, so the authors stress choosing the right index when early detection matters most.
