Purpose. To evaluate the diagnostic ability of pachymetric indexes obtained with Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SDOCT) for early detection of keratoconus (Kc). Methods. 64 patients with Kc in at least one eye (95 eyes, 46 men and 18 women, average age 27.84 ±13.50), 59 healthy control subjects (100 eyes, 28 men and 31 women, average age 27.15 ±16.14). All patients underwent detailed clinical examination, topography and anterior segment OCT. 37 subjects (37 eyes, 27 men and 10 women, average age 24.23 ± 14.24) having one eye with manifest Kc and the fellow eye without clinical signs of Kc were identified. We studied two groups of pachymetric indexes: C1-C2, M1-M2, pCLMI, Pmin-P2 (Group 1 indexes) and PPD, PSD, PSSD and PASD (Group 2 indexes). A ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curve was developed to compare the diagnostic accuracy, relative sensitivity and specificity for each index. Results. In manifest keratoconus, C1-C2, M1-M2, and pCLMI are significantly higher compared to the control group (P<0.0001); for suspect keratoconus, all Group 1 indexes are significantly higher compared to healthy subjects (P<0.0001) excluding M1-M2 obtained using a constant area circle (P = 0.02). Furthermore, for manifest and suspect keratoconus, PPD, PSD, PSSD and PASD are significantly higher compared to the control group (P <0.0001). Conclusion. The studied pachymetric indexes in patients with Kc have high diagnostic accuracy and are statistically significant when compared with healthy subjects (p<0.0001) and can provide a useful tool for keratoconus screening.
