Шкала прогрессирования HUC: новый метод определения прогрессирования КЕРАТОКОНУСА

The HUC progression score: A new method for determining KERATOCONUS progression.

In the monitoring and treatment of keratoconus, establishing the progression or not of keratoconus is essential for deciding on the therapeutic route to follow. Traditionally, topographic indicators of progression are based on the increase in keratometry^1–7 and/or decrease in corneal thickness over time.^4,5,7 The cut-off values that determine the existence or not of progression according to these parameters vary from author to author. The general opinion is an increase of 1 diopter in maximum keratometry (Kmax) in 1 year and/or a decrease in thinnest corneal thickness of between 10–20 µm.^1,4,5,7,8
