Aside from subjective judgment based on clinical signs, the Scheimpflug tomography-based densitometry could provide objective and efficient monitoring of the corneal opacity evolution in UK patients. Because the 3rd-sorted annular COD is a better index than the inbuilt or mapping CODs in differentiating active ulcers from healed scars, this COD could be a clinically promising parameter to monitor the progression of UK patients.
