Purpose
• This study assesses the effect on surgical decision-making of the type of corneal
collagen crosslinking (CXL) protocol in keratoconus eyes, depending on
pachymetric or stromal thickness map.
Methods
• A prospective, consecutive case-series study was performed between January 2022 to January 2023.

Results KC
Maximum epithelial thickness get thicker
Minimum epithelial thickness get thinner
Significant thinining of the minimum stromal thickness Significant increase in Min-Max difference of epithelial

Conclusions
• AS-OCT and Scheimpflug technology shows significant differences on thinnest
pachymetry meaurements
These differences are greater as the KC severity increases.
Scheimpflug technology shows thicker pachymetry compare with the AS-OCT.
• Data from stromal map coming from the AS-OCT affects the surgical planning of
the type of CXL protocol in at least 5% of cases.
