Advanced technology for precise mapping of your eye

Corneal Topography

Corneal topography is an advanced imaging test that maps the exact shape and curvature of your cornea, allowing for highly precise diagnosis and personalised vision correction. Using detailed, colour-coded imaging, we can detect even subtle irregularities that may affect your vision.

Mapping the surface of your cornea for accurate treatment planning

What is Corneal Topography?

Corneal topography is a specialised diagnostic test used to create a detailed map of the surface of your cornea (the clear front part of your eye). This advanced technology allows us to analyse the shape, curvature, and overall health of your cornea with exceptional accuracy. It is particularly useful for detecting conditions such as keratoconus, assessing irregular astigmatism, and guiding contact lens fittings or treatment planning. Corneal topography provides far more detailed information than standard eye tests, helping us deliver more precise and personalised care. Corneal topography is suitable for patients experiencing blurred or distorted vision, those considering contact lenses, or anyone requiring a more in-depth assessment of their eye health. Corneal Topography is available at our Ringwood, Croydon, Healesville and Yarram locations. It is recommended you make an appointment for your eye test to avoid long wait times however we can also accommodate walk-ins at our Ringwood and Croydon locations

What Does Corneal Topography Involve?

Corneal topography is a quick, non-invasive scan that uses advanced imaging to capture a detailed map of your cornea. You’ll be asked to look into the machine while it takes precise measurements of your eye’s surface. The result is a colour-coded map that shows variations in curvature, allowing us to identify irregularities and better understand how your eye focuses light.

Does corneal topography hurt or feel uncomfortable?

Corneal topography is completely painless and non-invasive. The scan is quick and comfortable, with no contact made with your eye.

Do I need to prepare for corneal topography?

No special preparation is needed. If you wear contact lenses, you will be asked to remove them prior to the test to ensure the most accurate results.

What does Corneal topography cost?

Corneal topography may involve an additional fee depending on your assessment needs. This will always be discussed with you before proceeding. The detailed information it provides allows for more accurate diagnosis and treatment, making it a valuable part of advanced eye care.

What happens after the test?

After your corneal topography scan, your optometrist will explain the results and what they mean for your vision and eye health. If any irregularities are detected, we’ll discuss the most appropriate next steps, which may include glasses, contact lenses, or further monitoring. You’ll receive your results immediately, and the information gathered will help guide your personalised treatment or vision correction plan.
