PURPOSE: To evaluate the corneal topographic patterns of Asian patients with keratoconus (KC).DESIGN: Prospective observational case-control study.METHODS: SETTING: Institutional. STUDY POPULATION: A total of 116 patients (both eyes included) with KC were recruited. The control group consisted of 70 laser in,situ keratomileusis (LASIK) candidates with myopia. Patients with previous ocular surgery and trauma were excluded. OBSERVATION PROCEDURE: Corneal topography was performed using the Tomey KC screening system (Topographic Modeling System, software version 2.4.2J, Tomey Corp, Nagoya, Japan) and Orbscan 11 corneal topography system (Bausch & Lomb Surgical, Orbtek Inc, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Videokeratographic variables were analyzed and the eyes were grouped into KC, KC suspect, and control groups.RESULTS: The corneal topographic patterns of 196 eyes were analyzed. The topographic patterns displayed by Tomey (TMS-2N) and Orbscan 11 were similar. The majority of eyes with KC (71.2%) and KC suspect (70%) had asymmetric bowtie patterns. Thirteen indices of TMS-2N were analyzed and the means of the indices were found to be significantly higher in eyes in the KC group than the KC suspect group (P
