To investigate the pachymetry distribution of central cornea and morphologic changes in subclinical keratoconus with normal biomechanics and determine their potential benefit for the screening of very early keratoconus. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. This retrospective comparative study was performed in 33 clinically unaffected eyes with normal topography and biomechanics from 33 keratoconus patients with very asymmetric ectasia (VAE-NTB; Corvis Biomechanical Index defined) and 70 truly normal eyes from 70 age-matched subjects. Corneal topographic, tomographic, and biomechanical metrics were measured using Pentacam and Corvis ST. The distance and pachymetry difference between the corneal thinnest point and the apex were defined as D<jats:sub>TCP-Apex<\/jats:sub> and DP<jats:sub>TCP-Apex<\/jats:sub>, respectively, to evaluate the pachymetry distribution within the central cornea. The discriminatory power of metrics was analysed via the receiver operating characteristic curve. A logistic regression analysis was used to establish predictive models. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. The parameters, D<jats:sub>TCP-Apex<\/jats:sub> and DP<jats:sub>TCP-Apex<\/jats:sub>, were significantly higher in VAE-NTB than those in normal eyes. For differentiating normal and VAE-NTB eyes, the Belin-Ambr\u00f3sio deviation (BAD-D) showed the largest area under the curve (AUC; 0.799), followed by ARTmax (0.798), D<jats:sub>TCP-Apex<\/jats:sub> (0.771), tomography and biomechanical index (0.760), maximum pachymetry progression index (PPImax, 0.756), DP<jats:sub>TCP-Apex<\/jats:sub> (0.753), and back eccentricity (B_Ecc, 0.707) with no statistically significant differences among these AUCs. In the VAE-NTB group, the parameter B_Ecc was significantly and positively correlated with D<jats:sub>TCP-Apex<\/jats:sub> (<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mrow><mml:mi>P<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>0.011<\/mml:mn><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>) and DP<jats:sub>TCP-Apex<\/jats:sub> (<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M2\"><mml:mrow><mml:mi>P<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>0.035<\/mml:mn><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>), whereas the posterior elevation difference had a significant positive association with DP<jats:sub>TCP-Apex<\/jats:sub> (<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M3\"><mml:mrow><mml:mi>P<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>0.042<\/mml:mn><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>). A model using the indices D<jats:sub>TCP-Apex<\/jats:sub>, B_Ecc, PPImax, and index of height asymmetry demonstrated the highest AUC of 0.846 with 91.43% specificity. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. Abnormal pachymetry distribution within the central cornea and subtle morphologic changes are detectable in subclinical keratoconus with normal biomechanics. This may improve VAE-NTB eyes
