Comparação entre dois sistemas de análise de topografia corneana

Abstract

Purpose: To compare topographic features of patients with keratoconus between two systems: Orbscan IIz® (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, New York, USA)

Perception and quality of life of patients after surgery keratoconus

“…(6) For the diagnostic evaluation, various equipmentis used both in the diagnostic aid and theprogression follow-up of corneal disorders, in addition to preoperative assessment.The computed videokeratography evaluates the corneal curvature as a reflector mirror, capturing the keratoscopicimage produced by the disk with concentric rings. (9) Patients diagnosed with Keratoconus reported that due to the symptoms of the disease it was difficultto carry out the daily activities.The visual loss led patients to present functional losses, limiting and restricting the participation and performance in everyday activities, interfering in independence, autonomy and quality of life that they had. (10) This way, participants described they tried to adapt to the difficulties, and tried to wear eye prosthesis, however they did not work as expected.Research describes that incipient cases are controlled with glasses, contact lenses may be used in mild cases, and more severe cases may be treated with deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty and corneal transplant.However, it depends on each individual's adaptation to the use of prosthesis.…”
