All elevation-, pachymetric-, and volumetric-based data (56 parameters) were electronically retrieved and analyzed. Intereye asymmetry was determined by subtracting the lowest value from the highest value for each variable. The degree of asymmetry between each subject\u2019s eyes was calculated with intraclass correlation coefficients for all the parameters. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to determine predictive accuracy and to identify optimal cutoffs of these values and combinations thereof.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In the normal\/keratoconus subjects the median intereye asymmetries were 0.30\/3.45 for K2 (flat) meridian, 0.03\/0.25 for BFS front, 1.00\/15.00 for elevation back BFS apex, and 7.00\/29.00 for pachy min.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In addition to Rabinowitz\u2019s <jats:italic>K<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>max<\/jats:sub> intereye asymmetry we propose pachymetric, elevation-based, and high-order corneal wavefront intereye asymmetry parameters to improve the diagnostic armamentarium of keratoconus.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00417-022-05642-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,9]],"date-time":"2022-04-09T05:02:38Z","timestamp":1649480558000},"page":"2949-2958","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Topographic, tomographic, and corneal wavefront asymmetry in keratoconus: towards an eye asymmetry index EASIX"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"260","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0677-6937","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juliane","family":"Mehlan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Johannes","family":"Steinberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vasyl","family":"Druchkiv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toam","family":"Katz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephan Johannes","family":"Linke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"10","key":"5642_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"7538","DOI":"10.1167\/iovs.11-7620","volume":"52","author":"SJ Linke","year":"2011","unstructured":"Linke SJ, Richard G, Katz T (2011) Prevalence and associations of anisometropia with spherical ametropia, cylindrical power, age, and sex in refractive surgery candidates.
