Abstract

"Keratoconus suspect" patients are a group that is able to see 10/10 with or without correction, have normal biomicroscopic findings and only inferior steeping determined by the videokeratographic examination. Keratoconus suspect may be considered to be the preclinical pattern of keratoconus when keratoconus is clinically diagnosed in the fellow eye. But it is still unclear, in what percent keratoconus suspects progresses to clinical keratoconus. Our patient has bilateral monocular diplopia for 1.5 years and has completely normal biomicroscopic findings. Keratoconus suspect is confirmed by the videokeratographic pattern and after the application of rigid gas permeable contact lens all his visual symptoms relieved. For a 38 months period no changes in visual acuity or videokeratography is observed.

Özet

Biomikroskopik muayeneleri normal olan, tashihli veya tashihsiz tam gören fakat videokeratografik analizlerinde korneanın inferiorunda dikleşme saptanan olgular "keratokonus şüphesi" olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Bir gözlerinde keratokonus tespit edilmiş olan hastaların eğer diğer gözlerinde keratokonus şüphesi saptanırsa, bu değişiklik keratokonus gelişiminin bir öncüsü olarak kabul edilebilir. Fakat, keratokonus şüphesi olgularının yüzde kaçında klinik keratokonus geliştiği net olarak bilinmemektedir. Bilateral monoküler diplopi şikayeti bulunan ve bu şikayeti 1.5 yıldır mevcut olan bir hastamızda rutin oftalmolojik muayene normal iken, videokeratografik incelemede keratokonus şüphesi tespit edilmiştir. Gaz geçirgen kontakt lens uygulanan hastanın semptomları tamamen kaybolmuştur. Otuzsekiz aylık takip süresince gerek görme keskinliğinde, gerekse videokeratografik bulgularda herhangi bir değişiklik saptanmamıştır.
