Abstract

Purpose: This is a retrospective multicenter study to report the incidental discovery of keratoconus (clinical and subclinical) in a screening of laser vision correction (LVC) surgery candidates.

Methods: This retrospective multicenter study was conducted on patients presenting for LVC in four Egyptian governorates (Cairo-Giza-6^th of October-Beni Suef) during the year 2018. The patients were examined using the Pentacam HR (OCULUS Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany) or Sirius (Costruzione Strumenti Oftalmici, Italy). The following parameters were evaluated: the axial curvature map, keratometry (Kmax and K2 on the posterior surface), minimum corneal thickness, anterior elevation, posterior elevation, Baiocchi-Calossi -Versaci index (Sirius), index of height decentration, and BAD-D (Pentacam). The prevalence of keratoconus cases was reported and data were analyzed.

Results: A total of 46 out of 782 candidates presenting for LVC in 2018 were incidentally discovered as clinical or subclinical keratoconus cases and were excluded from performing the LVC procedure.

Conclusion: Screening of LVC candidates for keratoconus is a crucial tool to detect the incidence of the disease in the Egyptian population.

圆锥角膜在埃及LASIK候选者筛选中的患病率:一项回顾性多中心研究。

目的:这是一项回顾性的多中心研究，报告在筛选激光视力矫正(LVC)手术候选人时偶然发现的圆锥角膜(临床和亚临床)。方法:本回顾性多中心研究对2018年埃及四个省(开罗-吉萨- 10月6日-贝尼苏夫)的LVC患者进行了研究。患者使用Pentacam HR (OCULUS Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany)或Sirius (Costruzione Strumenti Oftalmici, Italy)进行检查。评估以下参数:轴曲率图、角膜测量(后表面Kmax和K2)、最小角膜厚度、前抬高、后抬高、Baiocchi-Calossi -Versaci指数(Sirius)、高度分散指数、BAD-D (Pentacam)。报告了圆锥角膜的患病率，并对资料进行了分析。结果:2018年782例LVC患者中有46例被偶然发现为临床或亚临床圆锥角膜病例，被排除在LVC手术之外。结论:筛查LVC候选圆锥角膜是检测埃及人群中该疾病发病率的重要工具。
