“…In view of these findings, it seems appropriate to carefully reflect on the definitions of the terms “subclinical KC” versus “forme fruste KC”, that have often been used interchangeably in literature. Marc Amsler examined eyes without clinical KC signs and manifested KC in the fellow eye using Placido photokeratoscopy and defined “forme fruste” as an incomplete, abortive or unusual form of a syndrome or disease [ 46 , 47 ]. Consequently, a “forme fruste KC” should be a cornea with inconspicuous topographic and tomographic parameters contralateral to a cornea with manifested or advanced KC.…”

“…Hierbei soll auch auf die Definition des Begriffs „subklinischer Keratokonus“ vs. „Forme-fruste-Keratokonus“ eingegangen werden, die in der Literatur häufig synonym verwendet werden. Marc Amsler untersuchte bei Patienten mit diagnostiziertem Keratokonus prospektiv die Partneraugen ohne klinische Keratokonus-Zeichen oder Auffälligkeiten mittels Placido-Photokeratoskopie und definierte „Forme fruste“ als eine inkomplette, abortive oder unübliche Form eines Syndroms oder einer Erkrankung 33 , 34 . Dieser ursprünglichen Definition zufolge stellt ein „Forme-fruste-Keratokonus“ die topo- und tomografisch weitestgehend unauffällige Partnerhornhaut bei fortgeschrittenem Keratokonus am anderen Auge dar.…”

“…At this point, it would be helpful to consider the definitions of the terms “subclinical keratoconus” versus “forme fruste keratoconus”, which are often used interchangeably in the literature. In patients with diagnosed keratoconus, Marc Amsler prospectively examined the contralateral eyes that did not have clinical keratoconus signs or abnormalities using placido photokeratoscopy, and defined “forme fruste” as an incomplete, abortive, or unusual form of a syndrome or disease 33 , 34 . According to this original definition, a “forme fruste keratoconus” represents a cornea with largely inconspicuous topographic and tomographic parameters that is contralateral to a cornea with advanced keratoconus.…”
