Data are shown as mean ± SD.

NL normal controls, KCS keratoconus suspects, KC keratoconus, CCT central corneal thickness, TCT thinnest corneal thickness, Kmax maximum keratometry, PTE posterior elevation at the thinnest point, LoA limits of agreement, SD standard deviation.

The aP-values are for the comparison of the Scansys and Pentacam parameters (paired t-test, aP < 0.05 indicates a statistically significant difference); r, Pearson’s correlation coefficient; bP < 0.05 indicates a statistically significant correlation.
