Abstract
Developments in corneal topography allow for increasingly precise, detailed analysis of the corneal surface. This test is becoming indispensable in the treatment of complex corneas: keratoconus, corneal transplants, orthokeratology, etc. In refractive surgery, the combined analysis of the anterior and posterior cornea has permitted better screening for forme fruste keratoconus at risk for post-LASIK ectasia. Topography also assists in the calculation of premium intraocular lenses. Topography is an indispensable test for analyzing and following corneal disease.
