Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of second-harmonic imaging to identify differences in corneal stromal collagen organization between normal human and keratoconus corneas. METHODS: Six normal corneas from eye bank donors and 13 corneas of patients with keratoconus, obtained after penetrating keratoplasty were examined. A femtosecond titanium-sapphire laser with 800-nm output was used to generate second-harmonic signals collected at 400 nm from central and paracentral corneal tissue blocks. Three-dimensional (3-D) data sets were collected and reconstructed to evaluate the location and orientation of stromal collagen lamellae. RESULTS: Imaging of second-harmonic signals combined with 3-D reconstruction of the normal cornea identified a high degree of lamellar interweaving, particularly in the anterior cornea. Of note was the detection of lamellae that inserted into Bowman's layer and were oriented transverse to the corneal surface, penetrating posteriorly approximately 120 mum. In keratoconus corneas, imaging second-harmonic signals identified less lamellar interweaving and a marked reduction or loss of lamellae inserting into Bowman's layer in 12 of 13 cases, particularly in regions associated with cone development without breaks in Bowman's layer or scarring. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with normal adult corneas, marked abnormalities were detected in the organization of the anterior corneal collagen lamellae of keratoconus corneas by second harmonic imaging. These structural abnormalities are consistent with the known changes in collagen organization and biomechanical strength of keratoconus.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
