Abstract:
Increasing popularity and utility of epithelial thickness mapping (ETM) in keratorefractive surgery screening may begin to inappropriately devalue the use of tomography. An increasing body of research suggests that the interpretation of ETM based solely on the corneal resurfacing function may be insufficient to screen and select patients for refractive surgery. ETM and tomography are complementary and, when used together, may provide the safest and most optimal tools for keratorefractive surgery screening.
