Corneal topography: creates a detailed map illustrating the shape of the cornea

  • Provides significantly more detailed measurements than older methods
  • Improves accuracy of contact-lens fitting
  • Pre-screens patients interested in LASIK corrective surgery
  • Monitors stability of patients with keratoconus and corneal cross linking
