Computerized Corneal Topography: Revolutionizing Vision Care
The cornea is one of the most crucial parts of the human eye, functioning as a powerful lens that is responsible for as much as 75% of the eye’s focusing ability. Its shape and condition can significantly impact a person’s quality of vision. At Dr. Edward Boshnick’s practice, the advanced technology of Computerized Corneal Topography is utilized to measure and map this pivotal surface, contributing invaluable information to comprehensive eye care.
Understanding Computerized Corneal Topography
Computerized Corneal Topography is an innovative, non-invasive technology that captures detailed, color-coded images of the cornea. These images provide a topographic map of the cornea, revealing the intricacies of its shape and condition. For patients, the procedure is brief, painless, and involves no contact. It simply photographs the eye’s surface using ordinary light.
This topographic information contributes significantly to the overall eye examination. It allows for a more accurate diagnosis, efficient monitoring, and more effective treatment of a wide range of vision issues. Understanding the unique characteristics of each patient’s cornea is crucial in determining the most suitable corrective methods, be it glasses, contact lenses, or other forms of vision correction.
The Advantages of Computerized Corneal Topography
The primary advantage of computerized corneal topography lies in its ability to detect subtle conditions and changes that may be invisible to even the most comprehensive conventional testing. The technology’s high-resolution, color-coded maps provide a degree of detail that allows for early detection of potential issues, enabling timely intervention.
Additionally, the computerized system saves examination information, allowing for long-term monitoring of corneal changes and stability. This ability to track changes over time is particularly beneficial in the management of progressive corneal conditions and in assessing the effectiveness of ongoing treatments.
Decoding the Colors
One of the defining features of computerized corneal topography is its color-coded display. These colors aren’t just visually appealing – they provide valuable insights into the condition of the cornea. Different colors correspond to different elevations and curvatures on the corneal surface. By interpreting these color patterns, Dr. Boshnick can identify irregularities and conditions that may impact the selection of the best type of vision correction or treatment.
In Conclusion
Computerized Corneal Topography has revolutionized optometry by providing an unprecedented level of detail about the cornea, significantly enhancing the quality of vision care. By integrating this technology into his practice, Dr. Boshnick is able to provide more precise diagnoses, monitor the progress of treatments more effectively, and tailor vision correction methods to the unique needs of each patient.
The utilization of computerized corneal topography is an example of Dr. Boshnick’s dedication to using cutting-edge technology in his practice. This commitment ensures that his patients receive the highest standard of eye care, resulting in better vision and a better quality of life.
So, whether you’re experiencing vision issues or just need a routine eye exam, trust Dr. Boshnick and his advanced technology, including Computerized Corneal Topography, to provide the comprehensive, effective care that your eyes deserve.
Remember, taking care of your eyes means taking care of your vision, and taking care of your vision means taking care of your quality of life. Trust Dr. Boshnick to provide the high-quality, personalized care that you and your eyes deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Computerized corneal topography is a non-invasive medical imaging technique for mapping the surface curvature of the cornea. The process involves using a special device to take detailed measurements, which can help diagnose and treat various eye conditions.
This exam is primarily used to detect irregular conditions of the cornea, especially when evaluating the appropriateness of certain eye surgeries, fitting contact lenses, or diagnosing and managing conditions like keratoconus or astigmatism.
During the procedure, you’ll be asked to place your chin on a support and look at a fixation light inside the topographer. The device will take a series of images, resulting in a detailed map of your cornea. The process is non-invasive, painless, and typically takes less than a minute per eye.
Yes, computerized corneal topography is a safe and non-invasive procedure. It does not involve any contact with the eye, making it risk-free and comfortable for the patient.
Corneal topography provides a highly detailed map of the cornea’s curvature. This information is invaluable when fitting contact lenses, particularly in challenging cases such as high astigmatism, post-surgical eyes, or corneal diseases like keratoconus, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit.
