Corneal Mapping

Corneal mapping technology is now available at Heming Scott & Donald Optometrists. Computerised corneal topography is a three-dimensional imaging process, used to map the surface power of the cornea. The data points gathered are then digitised and analysed by sophisticated computer software. The result is a detailed map of the corneal curvature, much like a topographical map of land.

With this information, we are able to design soft and gas permeable contact lenses with curvature changes every 10 microns, to create the ultimate custom lens.

In addition, data gathered from topography can be used in the diagnosis and management of corneal curvature abnormalities, such as Keratoconus.

This instrument is also essential for determining if a patient is a candidate for refractive surgery, in addition to managing their pre- and post-operative care.
