It can be used for diagnosis of ultrastructural changes in patients with corneal dystrophies or ectatic degeneration, to monitor the recovery process after corneal refractive surgery or transplantology. The method is also helpful to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for acute or chronic stages of keratitis and helps to distinguish the differential diagnosis of etiological agents.
