Abstract

TIRADO MARTINEZ, Oslay Mijail  and  HERNANDEZ PEREZ, Arianna. Height topographers in the diagnosis of keratoconus. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2011, vol.24, n.2, pp. 364-373. ISSN 0864-2176.

Electronic and printed literature was reviewed in the search for general and operational characteristics of the height topographers existing in the market (Orbscan (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY), Pentacam (Oculus Optikgerate GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany) and Galilei (Ziemer Ophthalmology Co, Switzerland). The results related to keratoconus diagnosis were analyzed for each map. Height corneal topography is a novel tool for primary corneal ectasia screening, therefore, it is important to comprehensively analyze the information that they provide.

Keywords : Topography of the cornea; methods.
