11 Corneal Thickness
11.1 Screening for ectasia
by Prof. Renato Ambrósio Jr, Marcela Q. Salomão, MD
The new software combines the elevation criteria of Michael Belin, MD for screening for ectasia.
This opens up new horizons in analysing corneal thickness for diagnosis and classification of
corneal ectasia. The CTSP and PIT graphs are furthermore relevant in evaluating abnormal thick
corneas in endothelial disease. They provide very relevant clinical data for differentiating between
normal thin corneas (Figure 77, Figure 78) and ectatic corneas (Figure 79, Figure 80).
