WASHINGTON — Topography is a valuable tool to detect corneal irregularity and asymmetry, a speaker said during Refractive Day at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting.
“Corneal topography aids in planning and guiding treatment with high predictability and helps us plan for cataract surgery candidates,” Marcony R. Santhiago, MD, PhD, said.
It is important to take a detailed look at the topography, particularly near the visual axis.
“If you have any asymmetry, which is the hallmark of any ectatic disease, you can look at the topography to find that,”
