Detection of Infectious Corneal Perforation Using Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography

Key Points

ASOCT significantly detects more corneal perforations than conventional slit lamp examination, indicating its clinical utility.
In assessing severe disease, ASOCT demonstrates higher reproducibility in perforation grading compared to standard methods.
Assessment using anterior segment optical coherence tomography credits improved detection capabilities across various severity levels.
These findings highlight the potential of implementing ASOCT for better outcomes in managing microbial keratitis.

Abstract

ASOCT enables highly reproducible perforation grading and detects substantially more perforations than slit lamp examination, particularly in severe disease. These findings support ASOCT as an objective tool for clinical assessment and outcome ascertainment in microbial keratitis.
