Summary
This study aims to improve how doctors detect, classify, and treat irregular corneas caused by conditions like keratoconus, dry eye, and corneal scars. Researchers will use a special imaging device called optical coherence tomography (OCT) to get detailed measurements of the cornea. The study involves 445 participants and will also test a new OCT-guided laser treatment to improve vision. The goal is to make diagnosis more accurate and treatments more effective.
