CORNEAL IMAGING UPDATES
Abstract:
Corneal imaging has an important role in clinical ophtalmological practice. Modern
anterior segment imaging techniques improved the approach of various corneal diseases and brought
new therapeutical options. Refractive surgery, preoperatively screening for keratoconus or other
ectatic disorders are the major entities that can benefit from this technique and cannot be
accomplished without previous performing corneal imaging. The increased incidence of the ectatic
diseases and the patient’s requirement of discarding spectacles by performing refractive surgery
made us highlight the importance of this aspects. The aim of this paper is to emphasize the role of
each technique in regards to its underlying principles, interpretation, utility and application in
different pathologies.
