PURPOSE: To determine the interaction between corneal topographic and tomographic parameters and dry eye syndrome (DES) in keratoconus (KC) patients.
METHODS: Seventy-seven eyes of 49 patients with KC (age 34.4 ± 11.6 years) were enrolled in this study. In these 77 eyes we recorded surface regularity index (SRI), surface asymmetry index (SAI) and Klyce/Maeda KC index (KCI) using the Topographic Modeling System (TMS-5, Tomey, Tennenlohe, Germany), Index of Surface Variance (ISV), Index of Vertical Asymmetry (IVA), KC Index (KI), Center KC Index (CKI), Index of Height Asymmetry (IHA) and Index of Height Decentration (IHD) using Pentacam (Pentacam HR, Oculus, Germany). Patients were subdivided into mild (grade 1-2) and severe stage (grade 3-4) KC groups according to Pentacam grading. To analyse tear film parameters we assessed in 77 KC eyes McMonnies questionnaire, Schirmer test and break-up time and in 26 eyes (10 eyes with mild KC, 16 eyes with severe KC) high-speed videokeratoscopy (during interblinking interval) using a novel commercially not available system (Tear Inspect). With Tear Inspect the analysed tear film parameters were (1) time of first irregularities of Placido rings and (2) time of eyelid closure. Patients were also subdivided into McMonnies questionnaire positive and negative groups.
RESULTS: We did not find significant difference between patients with mild and severe KC in any of the examined tear film parameters (p > 0.66). There was no significant difference in SRI, SAI, KCI, ISV, IVA, KI, CKI, IHA and IHD in McMonnies test positive and negative KC patients (p > 0.07). There was no correlation between SRI, SAI, KCI, ISV, IVA, KI, CKI, IHA and IHD and any of the examined tear film parameters (without high-speed videokeratoscopy) neither in 77 KC patients nor in mild or severe KC eyes (r < 0.3).
CONCLUSIONS: There is no interaction between DES and topographic/tomographic changes in KC-patients.
