Abstract
Keratoconus is an eye disease in which the cornea gradually deforms, which causes the patients to experience a rapidly deteriorating visual quality. Early detection and follow-up of this disease is therefore very import as it allows for a quick therapeutical intervention. Recently, the Visual Optics Lab Antwerp (VOLANTIS) has developed new computational methods to monitor the structural changes in the cornea and to provide the best possible optical correction. The goal of this project is to expand on these methods, as well as to apply them to a large amount of previously collected patient data. This way we want to improve the prospects of patients by allowing to retain the highest possible quality of life.
