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.
