ATLAS Corneal Topography System

CATARACT REFRACTIVE

Corneal topography is a process for mapping the surface curvature of the cornea, similar to making a contour map of the land.

The purpose of the Atlas Corneal Topography is to produce a detailed description of the shape and power of the cornea. Using computerized imaging technology, the 3-dimensional map produced by the shiemflung imaging technology to diagnose, monitor, and treat various visual conditions.

The procedure itself is painless and brief. It is a noncontact examination that photographs the surface of the eye.

Atlas Corneal Topography is not a routine test. Rather, it is used in diagnosing certain types of problems, in evaluating a disease’s progression, in fitting some types of contact lenses, and in planning surgery.

It is commonly used in preparing for refractive eye surgery such as LASIK, EpiLASIK.

Atlas Corneal Topography is for the diagnosis and management of various corneal curvature abnormalities and diseases such as:

• Keratoconus is a degenerative condition that causes a thinning of the cornea
• Corneal transplant or keratoplasty surgery
• Corneal scars or opacities
• Corneal deformities
• Fitting contact lenses
• Planning refractive surgery such as LASIK
