Figure 1 Examples of keratoconus. (A) Forme fruste keratoconus (fellow eye, B, diagnosed as having clinical keratoconus). Note that the axial map
display scale has 1.5 D intervals; the vertical I-S power gradient in this cornea is in the 1.4–1.9 D range (see text for details). (B) Clinical keratoconus
with classical inferior steepening. (C, D) Both eyes of clinical keratoconus illustrating the skewed radial axis pattern. (E, F) Both eyes of unilateral
keratoconus. The right eye has the characteristic truncated bow tie pattern.
