Summary
Digital videophotokeratoscopy aids in selecting contact lens parameters for keratoconus patients. Corneal topography analysis guides the fitting process for better patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Optometry
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition causing irregular corneal shape.
- Accurate contact lens fitting is crucial for managing keratoconus and improving vision.
- Traditional fitting methods can be challenging due to the cornea's irregular topography.
