Our computer-based corneal topography analysis system was used to study the keratoscope photographs (keratograms) from two patients with classic pellucid marginal degeneration and a third patient with no inferior corneal thinning, whose keratoscope mire pattern was suggestive of the condition. All three patients showed marked flattening of the central cornea along a vertical axis and marked steepening of the inferior corneal periphery, which also extended into mid-peripheral inferior oblique corneal meridians. The mid-peripheral cornea gradually decreased in power above the inferior oblique meridians.
