Examples for detection of subclinical corneal edema and clinical corneal edema. a The eye classified as having subclinical edema with all three criteria present in Scheimpflug tomography (focal posterior surface depression, loss of regular isopachs, and displacement of the thinnest point of the cornea). In slit-lamp biomicroscopy, corneal guttae are visible but no clinical corneal edema can be observed. b The eye classified as having clinical corneal edema showing diffuse corneal edema in slit-lamp biomicroscopy. In Scheimpflug tomography, higher pachymetry as well as higher irregularity can be observed
