Corneal topography is a technique for mapping the cornea's surface curvature, similar to creating a land contour map. The goal of corneal topography is to create a detailed description of the cornea's shape and power. Corneal Topography, also known as Photo keratoscopy and Videokeratoscopy, is a technique for mapping the Cornea's curved surface. This can be used to assess vision quality, as well as for LASIK surgery and contact lens fitting. This procedure is painless and non-invasive for the patient. These are the most common procedures performed in ophthalmology and optometry offices, and Corneal Topography must be given careful consideration.
Another key driving factor is expected to be the growing preference for laser refractive error correction procedures and the increased use of contact lenses. Corneal topographers' capacity to only measure four points 3.6mm apart, or over 5% of the corneal surface, as well as a lack of quantitative assessments of regularity, stringent government regulations, high cost of corneal topography devices, and lack of awareness about their use will act as a restraint and further challenge the growth of corneal topographers during the forecast period.
