摘要

Effectively explaining keratoconus patients their condition and how it can be treated, or teaching new doctors the particularities of this disease, is always a difficult task, but it becomes even more difficult in a framework of remotely assisted consultation. This paper introduces KERATOCONUS AR, an application for mobile devices that utilizes marker-based augmented reality (AR) to provide clear and precise visualization of three-dimensional (3D) models of corneas affected by different degrees of keratoconus, as well as corneas treated with different healing approaches. The KERATOCONUS AR application has been specifically designed to offer an overview of keratoconus, along with access to two significant classification systems: the Amsler-Krumeich scale and the RETICS scale. Furthermore, the application incorporates AR models of typical corneas, both complete and cross-sectioned, representing each grade from the aforementioned scales. It also provides information on potential treatments for keratoconus, including intra-stromal rings, collagen cross-linking, and penetrating keratoplasty, accompanied by concise descriptions. The application enables patients to better understand their pathology and treatment options, particularly when used in face-to-face clinical consultations. However, its true potential is realized when employed with patients in remote locations or under circumstances of movement restrictions, such as those experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. ERATOCONUS AR offers an innovative approach to enhance patient and future doctors understanding of keratoconus by providing interactive and immersive experience through marker-based AR technology. By visualizing 3D models and offering comprehensive information on classification systems and treatment options, the application bridges the gap in patient education and improves communication between healthcare providers and patients. The utilization of KERATOCONUS AR has the potential to transform the patient experience, facilitating better-informed decision-making and optimizing the management of keratoconus.
