Topography
Understanding Your Cornea
Corneal topography maps the shape and thickness of your cornea. This helps our specialists determine which laser vision correction procedure may be most suitable for your eyes.
What Is Corneal Topography?
A Detailed Map of Your Cornea
Corneal topography is a painless, non-invasive test that creates a detailed map of the front surface of your eye. It helps our specialists understand the shape and curvature of your cornea and identify any irregularities that may need attention before LASIK.
Why It Matters: This detailed assessment helps your doctor evaluate your eye health and determine which vision correction options may be suitable for you.
