Corneal Topography

Corneal topography analyzes the elevation and curvature of the surface of your cornea. This information is used to develop a topographical map, which your provider will use to develop a treatment plan specifically designed for your condition. Corneal topography is also used to identify early stages of some corneal diseases, such as keratoconus, that may exclude a patient from undergoing refractive eye surgery.

Have regular, comprehensive eye examinations. Many common eye diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic eye disease and age-related macular degeneration often have no warning signs. Be sure that dilation or another method of retinal exam is included.
