Abstract
Ectatic corneal disease (ECD) or corneal ectasia is a group of progressive eye disorders characterised by thinning and bulging of the cornea, and can result in moderate to severe impairment of vision. Recent advances in corneal imaging systems allow for the detection of mild or subclinical stages of the disease, which is fundamental in the face of novel strategies for minimising progressive ectasia after laser vision correction procedures, such as LASIK and SMILE. At the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) Annual Meeting, in Lisbon, in October 2017, Renato Ambrósio Jr, Medical Director of the Instituto de Otho and Refracta-RIO, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, discussed the importance of diagnosing ECD and how advances in corneal imaging technologies can enhance diagnosis.
