The diagnostic performance of all tested topographic and tomographic parameters measured using Scheimpflug tomography for discriminating subclinical KC was fair at best, with the top parameters being RMS HOA, BAD-D, back elevation at the thinnest location, PPIave, and Da. Distinguishing between subclinical KC and healthy eyes remains challenging. Multimodal imaging techniques may be required for optimal early detection of subtle morphological changes.
