Abstract
Topographic mapping of the cornea has progressed markedly in the past few years with many improvements in computer hardware and software. This diagnostic technique, commonly referred to as computer-assisted videokeratography (CAVK), is performed with one of the corneal topography machines currently available. Many anterior segment surgeons use corneal topography in planning and monitoring their cataract and refractive surgery. Because of increased interest in this area, several surgeons were asked to comment on the role computer-assisted corneal topographic analysis plays in their practice of cataract and refractive surgery. They were asked what they felt were the best methods for measuring and analyzing corneal irregularities and how corneal topography should be used in cases of cataracts with astigmatism and in planning myopia and astigmatism surgery.
