Cornea Curvature - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Corneal curvature refers to the measurement of the topography and shape of the cornea, which is determined by the reflection of light off the tear film coated cornea surface. It is important in the fitting of contact lenses and can be assessed using instruments such as the keratometer or the corneal topographer.
Corneal Imaging: An Introduction - University of Iowa
2016年10月19日 · The axial curvature map, also known as a sagittal map, depicts the curvature of the anterior corneal surface in dioptric values for each point. The color scale represents the power in diopters at each particular point.
Instrument Basics Part III: Corneal Curvature
2009年3月11日 · Measurement of corneal curvature/power can be performed with a variety of instruments, most commonly a keratometer, IOLMaster, or corneal topography device. Corneal curvature is usually used for IOL calculations and corneal refractive surgery .

2023年7月24日 · Corneal topography evaluates the anterior curvature of the cornea while corneal tomography includes the posterior curvature and corneal thickness. This article compares and contrasts the various methods of obtaining corneal data. Corneal imaging is most applicable when evaluating keratorefractive surgery candidacy and keratoconus-risk.
Therefore the aim of this paper is to review three corneal parameters that are commonly measured by eye care practitioners, namely diameter, anterior curvature and centre thickness. Included also are the clinical importance of each parameter, methods of measurement, biometric values and factors influencing the values.
CORNEAL TOPOGRAPHY/TOMOGRAPHY EXPLAINED
2022年6月1日 · Eccentricity of the cornea documents the change of corneal curvature from the center to the periphery — which means how aspheric (prolate) or non-aspheric (oblate) the cornea is. Corneal asphericity helps in real life to reduce chromatic aberrations and improve low light and night vision clarity.
