New Eye Diseases and Conditions Study Findings Recently Were Published by a Researcher at University of Helsinki and Helsinki University Hospital (Does Corneal Topography Using 3-Dimensional Optical Coherence Tomography Suggest Different...).

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Helsinki and Helsinki University Hospital in Finland analyzed corneal topography in patients with Terrien marginal degeneration using 3-dimensional optical coherence tomography. The study classified the topographic axial power maps into four patterns: crab claw, mixed, arcuate, and normal. The researchers found that patients with the crab claw pattern were younger and progressed more rapidly, while those with the mixed pattern were older and progressed slower. The study suggests that there may be different subtypes of Terrien marginal degeneration and that patients with certain patterns may benefit from more frequent monitoring. [Extracted from the article]
