Introduction

However, all previous studies relied on truncated values and criteria and continued to use only a small portion of the information contained in a topographic image. With the development of the field of computer vision, which recognizes the image as a whole, it became necessary to harness this advancement and conduct a study that would be among the first worldwide to employ this technique for detecting keratoconic and suspect corneas. This was intended to pave the way for subsequent studies that could not only assist in diagnosis but also guide the selection of appropriate treatment.
