Abstract
Keratoconus is a disease of the cornea, the front window of the eye, that affects vision and can cause blindness. It is diagnosed using images of the eye, but early disease is difficult to detect, and there is also no worldwide agreement on which signs best indicate that the disease is progressing. We will use a type of artificial intelligence called machine-learning together with an innovative new imaging machine to overcome these challenges and thereby improve both diagnosis and treatment.
