PURPOSE: To define diurnal changes in anterior segment parameters of keratoconus patients by using Scheimpflug imaging.
METHODS: All keratoconus patients had corneal topography measurements 3 times a day (around 09:00 AM, 13:00 PM and 17:00 PM) by the same experienced operator. Three consecutive scans in each measurement session were obtained. The average of three measurements was used for analysis. A repeated measures analysis of variance with one within-subject factor (time of day) was carried out to assess diurnal variation.
RESULTS: This study included 26 eyes of 26 patients with keratoconus. Significant diurnal variation was found in CCT and TCT measurements (P < 0.01, and P < 0.01, respectively). The mean amplitudes of change in CCT and TCT were 4.2 ± 1 µm (95% CI: 1.7-6.8 µm) and 4.1 ± 1.1 µm (95% CI: 1.2-8.0 µm), while the mean of CCT and TCT were 462.4 ± 34.5 µm (95% CI: 448.4-476.6 µm) and 452.9 ± 6.6 µm (95% CI: 439.3-466.5 µm), respectively. The maximum value and the lowest value were observed at 09:00 AM and at 17:00 PM, respectively. Other parameters except CCT and TCT did not show diurnal variation.
CONCLUSION: Statistically significant but clinically insignificant diurnal variation in CCT and TCT measurements of the keratoconus patients were detected over an 8-hour period (09:00 AM-17:00 PM).
