[Corneal topography of keratoconus].
A computerized video keratoscope (TMS-1) was used to determine the topographic findings of 6 eyes of 4 patients with keratoconus and they were compared with those of 18 normal eyes. The results show that in keratoconus the central corneal refractive power is greater, the difference between the refractive powers of the bilateral central corneas of a case is larger and the inferior cornea is steeper than the superior cornea. The above topographic findings are possibly the characteristics of the corneal topography of keratoconus.
