    Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) provides high-resolution images for diagnosing ocular surface and anterior segment diseases.

  • 2

    AS-OCT aids in differentiating between intraepithelial and invasive ocular surface tumors, enhancing diagnostic accuracy.

  • 3

    Corneal tomography devices, like Pentacam and Galilei, utilize Scheimpflug imaging to assess keratoconus and other corneal pathologies.

  • 4

    Confocal microscopy is effective in diagnosing fungal and Acanthamoeba keratitis, offering high sensitivity and specificity.

  • 5

    Advanced diagnostic tools enable clinicians to make informed decisions regarding treatment options for corneal diseases.
