The Corneal EyeSys System: accuracy analysis and reproducibility of first-generation prototype

The EyeSyS Corneal Topography System manufactured by EyeSys Laboratories, Inc., Houston, Tex utilizes a unique data-acquisition design to perform rapid, cost-effective quantitative photokeratoscopy. We evaluated a first-generation prototype system. Repeated testing with this prototype demonstrated an accuracy and reproducibility to within 0.25 D on spherical surfaces. Similar results were obtained in testing aspherical surfaces without refocusing. Data from preliminary clinical studies are displayed for the following corneal conditions: normal, keratoconus, post-keratoplasty, and post-keratoplasty with wound ectasia. Advantages of the EyeSys System include rapid data analysis and display, ease of operation, and compact table-top size.
