Abstract
Goal. To introduce ophthalmologists and optometrists to the basics of corneal topography. Corneal topography is the main method for assessing corneal surface regularity, the violation of which leads to a deterioration in its refractive properties and a decrease in the quality of vision. The first part of the workshop (The EYE GLAZ. 2020 (22), № 2) presented the main types of topography maps and keratometry data. In the second part, considerations are made regarding mastering the skills of capturing high-quality images and choice of color maps for analysis. Topography patterns as well as topographic signs of keratoconus are also discussed. Conclusion. Placido-based corneal topographers are a useful tool for evaluating the anterior corneal surface, fitting contact lenses and diagnosing keratoconus. Slit-scanning topographers, additionally, are capable of corneal pachymetry and analyzing the posterior surface of the cornea, which allows for carrying out a more detailed assessment and diagnosing keratoconus at preclinical stage.
