Abstract

All the primary indices proposed in this work exhibit very good performance in discriminating between normal and irregular corneas. The accuracy of the combined indices is optimal within the test group (perfect classification), allowing their use in clinical practice as corneal markers of a disease. All these indices are fast to compute and can be easily implemented in any corneal topography system.
