6) Orbscan Computerized Corneal Topography

If an irregularity on the curvature of the cornea is not detected before surgery, you may experience poor results. The Orbscan System detects these irregularities to maximize a favorable outcome.

Computerized corneal topography looks at the curvature of your cornea like a topographic map of the earth's surface shows its curvature.

  • There are some curvatures of the cornea that are irregularities that can lead to a poor result with refractive surgery.
  • One example is keratoconus. Keratoconus is an irregularity that people are born with. This irregularity in the cornea can lead to an irregular response to refractive surgery and blurry vision.
  • If we find one of these irregularities on the computerized topography of your cornea, we recommend that you do not have refractive surgery.
  • A topographic analysis of the front and back of your cornea is a very important test to have before undergoing any refractive surgery.
  • If refractive surgery is performed without one of these topographic maps, it is difficult to know if the patient has early keratoconus.
