keratometry question

Hi,

I have one question about keratometry examination.

One year ago my keratometry in right eye were: K1- 44,75 ax 34; K2- 47,50 ax 124

Now it is: K1- 49,5 ax: 145; K2- 57 ax 55

Other things like cornea thickness etc. doesn’t change

My doctor said that this means nothing and keratoconus is stable and is not worsening

Can somebody help me with interpreting those values and say whether my keratoconus is getting bigger or that in fact those values means nothing ?

Thank you in advance

Best regards
Chris

Although not sure...K reading should not increase.

In your case it seems to be increasing...

Wait for some expert comments
