Topography
Topography in the context of ophthalmology refers to corneal topography, a non-invasive diagnostic test used to map the surface of the cornea. This procedure provides detailed information about the shape, curvature, and surface irregularities of the cornea, which are crucial for diagnosing and monitoring various eye conditions, such as astigmatism, keratoconus, and post-surgical corneal changes.
At Desai Eye Institute, corneal topography is performed using a specialized instrument known as a corneal topographer. The test involves placing the patient’s chin on a rest while they focus on a target, and the device captures thousands of data points from the corneal surface to create a topographic map. This map is then analyzed to assess the health of the cornea and guide treatment decisions, including contact lens fitting, refractive surgery, or monitoring disease progression.
Corneal topography is an essential tool for ensuring accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, improving patient outcomes in cases of refractive errors or corneal abnormalities.
Medical Equipment Needed for Topography
- Corneal Topographer
- Slit Lamp (for additional eye examination)
- Topographic Software (for data analysis)
- Chin Rest or Head Stabilizer
- Non-Contact Probe (for mapping the corneal surface)
- Sterile Covers for Equipment
- Fluorescein Dye (if used in conjunction with the test)
- Disinfectants (for equipment sterilization)
