Topolyzer Vario corneal imaging with its resultant HOA ablation map islands were analyzed for their centroid, distance from center, angular position, orientation, sphericity, diameter, area, and maximal ablation depth. Correlations to Pentacam indices were studied.Results: All eyes showed recurrent features with an arrangement of two elliptical paracentral ablation islands, one deep inferotemporal and one shallow superonasal, in direct mirror-like opposition to each other. These were always accompanied by superior peripheral ablation crescents. The two paracentral islands had highly reproducible distance from center (1.2 ± 0.1 mm and 1.3 ± 0. 2 mm) and angular positions (246.8 ± 15.9° and 76.7 ± 7.7°), with greater variation in ablation depth (68.3 ± 33.2 μm and 17.6 ± 12.1 μm). Distance from center of the peripheral superior crescents was highly reproducible (3.3 ± 0.1 mm), with a larger range of depth (74.5 ± 37.2 μm). The deep paracentral inferotemporal island “hot spot” was coincident with the topographical apical cone. Strong correlations were found between the depth of the inferotemporal island and Pentacam indices of posterior radius curvature (PRC: R = − 0.74) and Belin/Ambrosio enhanced ectasia total deviation (BAD-D: R = 0.71).Conclusion: The corneal HOA ablation map revealed a recurring, distinct, easily recognizable pattern in KC eyes. There was a strong correlation between the depth of novel HOA ablation map metrics and validated Pentacam KC indices. Novel information can be extracted from the corneal HOA ablation map giving it the potential to be a new modality to diagnose and grade KC.Keywords: topography, Contoura, keratoconus, ectasia, diagnosis, higher-order aberrationWallerstein AGauvin MMimouni MRacine LSalimi ACohen MDove Medical Pressarticletopographycontourakeratoconusectasiadiagnosishigher-order aberrationOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 623-633 (2021)
