Patients who have suspected keratoconus based on topography may be candidates for LASIK based on a study that showed refractive stability 1 year after LASIK in patients where keratoconus was excluded preoperatively using epithelial thickness mapping obtained with a VHF ultrasound eye scanner (Artemis 1, ArcScan).
