Description
Summary:Summary There are many modalities that acquire data about the cornea: shape, power, morphology, biomechanics, and so forth. This talk will review the technologies on corneal assessment techniques and devices available in experimental and clinical practice. Specifically, it will be discussed slit lamp biomicroscopy, ultrasound, magnet resonance tomography, confocal microscopy, ultrasound biomicroscopy, optical coherence tomography, keratometry, Scheimpflug imaging, and dynamic applanation procedures. In addition, I discuss the necessity of developing new technologies for assessing both the morphology and the physiology of the cornea.
