Corneal Topography using Orbscan : Basics and interpretation Dr Gaurav Prakash MBBS, MD, FICO, FRCS(Glasgow) Cornea and Refractive Surgeon, NMC Eye Care , NMC Specialty Hospital , Abu Dhabi , UAE www.gauravprakash.com
Orbscan IIz Complete corneal analysis : Topography Pachymetry Anterior surface Posterior surface
Orbscan IIz Combines two principles Placido disc Scanning slit
Normal appearing corneas Placido disc Normal appearing corneas Normal Inferior steeping Irregular cornea
Principle of Placido Placido rings The location of the placido rings in relation to the camera is already known. The radial slope of the surface at the point of reflection can be determined by ray tracing. Used for keratometric analysis camera
Scanning slit technology Uses a series of light slits (40 slits) passing over the cornea at an angle of about 45° to the camera.
Scanning slit technology The scanning slit triangulates the area between the reflected beam and camera axis to determine the edge. Overall analysis of reflected beams determines ‘floats’. Difference in two edges created by the same beam , adjusting for time delays, determines the depth. Projector camera
Best fit sphere Best fit sphere is created to match surface points on anterior and posterior corneal surfaces.
Analysis techniques Use pseudocolor codes as your friends . Red is dangerous Look for abnormal patterns Bow tie asymmetry , focal change in color
Map Reading (Quad Map) Anterior Elevation Map Posterior Elevation Map Statistics and Data Curvature Map Pachymetry Map
Map Reading Highest Point Lowest Point
Map Reading Lowest Point Highest Point
Pachymetry = Thickness of Cornea Map Reading Pachymetry = Thickness of Cornea THINNEST Area THICKER Area
Keratometry = steepness of Cornea Map Reading
21 years old female . -2.5 D . Can she undergo lasik ?
Orbscan : normal
30 year old male UCVA 6/6 , H/o Sx done 3 years back
Orbscan : post lasik
32 years old male , UCVA : 6/24 , BCVA : 6/12 . Mild myopia . H/o Surgery 8 years back
Orbscan : Post Lasik Ectasia
Progressively worsening BSCVA in a young male; high astigmatism
Steep vertical axis, centrally thin cornea , high posterior float : Keratoconus
Progressively worsening BSCVA in a young male; high astigmatism
Bow tie appearance , Extended thin zone inferiorly : Pellucid marginal degeneration
What’s wrong here ??
Inverse Bow Tie
UCVA : 6/60 , BSCVA : 6/36 ; BCVA with RGP : 6/12 UCVA : 6/60 , BSCVA : 6/36 ; BCVA with RGP : 6/12. What problem the patient is having ?
Post keratoplasty, Graft host thickness disparity, high astigmatism
Post lasik , success story ???
Central Island
Whats wrong for this post lasik 28 year old male ?
Irregular corneal flap post lasik
Posterior float anamoly
Another one from the blue
normal
Is this a go ahead ?
Fellow eye
Remember , the best way to master topography Is to see more Feel free to ask your queries at drgauravprakash@gmail.com Thanks
