Topography & Pachymetry for Corneal Evaluation

Corneal Topography and Pachymetry are essential diagnostic tools for a comprehensive evaluation of the cornea — the clear, dome-shaped front surface of the eye. At FURIA'S EYE CLINIC, these advanced tests are routinely used to screen for corneal disorders, plan refractive surgeries, and monitor corneal health over time.

What is Corneal Topography?

Corneal topography is a non-invasive imaging technique that maps the surface curvature of the cornea in fine detail. It produces a color-coded map that reveals the shape, contour, and regularity of the corneal surface. This information is critical for diagnosing corneal irregularities and planning laser or surgical procedures.

Conditions Detected by Topography

• Keratoconus — progressive corneal thinning and bulging
• Corneal astigmatism — irregular corneal curvature
• Post-surgical corneal changes
• Contact lens-induced corneal warpage
• Pre-operative screening for LASIK and other refractive procedures

What is Pachymetry?

Pachymetry is a quick, painless test that measures the thickness of the cornea at multiple points. Corneal thickness is an important parameter for diagnosing glaucoma, assessing suitability for LASIK surgery, and monitoring corneal diseases.

Conditions Assessed by Pachymetry

• Glaucoma risk assessment — thin corneas indicate higher risk
• Pre-LASIK screening — ensuring adequate corneal thickness for safe surgery
• Keratoconus monitoring — tracking corneal thinning progression
• Corneal edema evaluation
• Post-operative corneal assessment

How are These Tests Performed?

Both topography and pachymetry are quick, non-invasive, and painless procedures that do not require any injections or dye.

• The patient sits in front of the device and looks at a target
• The instrument captures measurements in seconds
• Detailed maps and measurements are immediately generated for analysis
• No contact with the eye is required in most modern systems
