This map shows the bumps and valleys on the corneal surface and is used to ensure the cornea is regular and can be treated with the laser. People with irregular types of astigmatism or corneal disorders, such as Keratoconus, may be ruled as non-candidates prior to surgery. These patients may be good candidates for alternative vision correction procedures to LASIK.

The topography is therefore essential in determining whether or not you are a candidate for LASIK surgery.

Orbscan Topography is a newer technology that not only allows your surgeon to detect these irregularities on the front surface of the cornea, but also allows mapping of the posterior corneal surface. Conventional topography machines can only give information about the front surface. Orbscan Topography can also determine whether the back surface of the cornea is healthy.

This ability to look at the back surface is essential for safety reasons. The added safety allows your surgeon to bet...
