A New Method for Reconstruction of Corneal Topography with Placido Disk System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Many methods to reconstruct the corneal topography are based on the Placido disk system. The skew rays can contribute errors to the system when using the reflection image with these methods. To overcome this limitation, a backward ray tracing technique is developed. By performing this technique, a continuous surface representation of the cornea is obtained. The error analysis shows an enhanced accuracy in reconstructing the corneal topography. The colormaps of corneal surface powers are also drawn for graphic representations of corneal topography.
