  ABSTRACT: Purpose: To determine the diagnostic value of the anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) indices in differentiating normal from ectatic corneas. Material and Methods: Two groups of patients—with corneal ectasia and normal controls were compared. Each group consists of 80 eyes of 43 age and sex-matched patients. All of them underwent corneal topography with OCULUS Keratograph 5M and corneal pachymetry with AS-OCT with RTVue-100. The indices generated by the AS-OCT pachymetric scans were analyzed. Results: There was a statistically significant difference for all the examined indices between the two groups with p values Conclusion: The anterior segment OCT indices showed excellent capability in differentiating ectatic from normal corneas.
