Clinical uses of corneal topography analysis.
Corneal topography analysis has become an indispensable tool in the evaluation and treatment of corneal disease.  It is helping us understand the normal corneal shape and how it is altered in ectatic diseases, by contact lens wear, and by surgery.  Topography analysis is also now being used in planning procedures to correct astigmatism and in the fitting of contact lenses.
