What is corneal mapping?
The cornea isn’t always as smooth as you may think. It can actually be made up of microscopic peaks and valleys that affect how light enters the eye and ultimately how you see. When electing a laser vision correction procedure, only the most precise measurements will suffice in leading to the best possible refractive outcomes. Corneal mapping (or topography) is a special technique that maps the surface of the eye with three-dimensional technology to identify any distortions in the curvature of the cornea. At Drs. Campbell, Cunningham, Taylor & Haun, we employ the most advanced technology of the Topolyzer® VARIO as part of the WaveLight Refractive Suite for precision corneal measurements.
How does the Topolyzer VARIO work?
The Topolyzer VARIO produces a series of detailed maps of the cornea with integrated topography, keratometry, and pupillometry through a non-contact device. These advanced diagnostics allow your surgeon to personalize your LASIK procedure with the most precise measurements available utilizing CONTOURA® Vision Mapping. The Topolyzer VARIO provides a diagram of any irregularities of anterior corneal astigmatism. In fact, approximately 22,000 data points are captured on the surface of the eye for ultimate precision and, in most cases, better refractive outcomes.
The Topolyzer VARIO is part of the WaveLight® Refractive Suite by Alcon, which is considered by industry leaders to be among the most advanced laser vision correction technology available. This includes the WaveLight EX500 Excimer Laser and FS200 Femtosecond Laser. The Topolyzer VARIO pairs seamlessly with these devices to help provide the most predictable LASIK vision correction outcomes yet.
What results can the WaveLight Refractive Suite help achieve?
In a survey, 98% of patients said they would choose a refractive procedure with WaveLight Refractive Suite again. This innovative technology (which includes that of the Topolyzer VARIO) also outperformed glasses and contacts in over 30% of cases in the study and improved several common symptoms associated with LASIK technology of years past. WaveLight can provide exceptional visual acuity outcomes in most cases, with 89% of patients achieving 20/15 vision and 100% achieving 20/20.
