Question

What is the indication of this procedure?

• A. Keratoconus
• B. Vogt’s limbal girdle
• C. Keratoglobus
• D. Corneal dystrophy

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The indication of the procedure shown in the image is keratoconus. Keratoconus is a progressive eye disorder where the cornea thins and begins to bulge into a cone-like shape, which causes distorted vision. The provided image typically depicts corneal topography or similar diagnostic techniques used to identify keratoconus.

Characteristics of keratoconus include:

• Irregular astigmatism leading to vision distortion
• Thinning of the corneal epithelium
• Scarring and cone bulging at advanced stages

Diagnostic procedures may include corneal topography, which maps the surface curvature of the cornea and helps in detecting cone-like elevations indicative of keratoconus.

Sign	Description
Corneal Thinning	Localized thinning of the cornea, especially in the central or lower regions.
Irregular Astigmatism	Distortion in vision due to an irregular shape of the cornea.
Scarring	Corneal scarring may occur as the condition progresses, further affecting vision.

The chosen option that matches this condition is Keratoconus.
