Corneal Topography

The main function of a corneal topographer is to create a 3D topography map of the cornea (the clear, front window of the eye). This helps us to diagnose and monitor corneal conditions such as keratoconus, and also greatly assists with fitting contact lenses, especially hard (or RGP) lenses and OrthoK lenses. Our corneal topographer can also take photos and videos of the front surface of the eye to better assess and monitor dry eyes and other conditions that affect the front part of the eye. 

There is a fee for this scan as it is not currently covered by Medicare. Some private health funds may rebate a portion of the fee under their ancillary cover, so please contact your health fund to find out if this applies.
