Using a very sophisticated computer and software, we can generate a curvature map that provides essential information about the cornea’s shape and power.
Corneal topography may be indicated in the following situations:
- early diagnosis of keratoconus and to assist in it’s treatment plan
- preoperative surgical risk assessment
- corneal ulcers
- vision loss due to irregular astigmatism
- corneal warpage due to contact lens wear
- pterygium causing irregular astigmatism
- corneal edema
- corneal dystrophies
