Towards Raman spectroscopy of urine as screening tool.

abstract：:The aim of this study was to evaluate whether OCT topography of the Bowman's layer and artificial intelligence (AI) can result in better diagnosis of forme fruste (FFKC) and clinical keratoconus (KC). Normal (n = 221), FFKC (n = 72) and KC (n = 116) corneas were included. Some of the FFKC and KC patients had the fello...
