Why is it important?
The results do not allow us to conclude that women with endometriosis have a higher risk of developing corneal ectasia.
Perspectives
Although the posterior elevation map demonstrated a greater posterior curvature of the cornea in this group, with a statistically significant difference, an isolated increase in the posterior elevation map does not have good diagnostic accuracy.
