Corneal Topography: Get to New Heights
There’s been increasing evidence in recent years that manufacturers of anterior segment imaging technologies, the contact lens industry and practitioners globally are changing from a mindset based on corneal curvature to one with its foundations in sagittal height elevation data. Is this just a new trend in the ever-evolving landscape of cornea and contact lens practice or a sign of the times that curvature data is becoming obsolete?

Advances in Endothelial Surgery: An Update for ODs
Over the last few years, there have been radical changes in the treatments for corneal endothelial disease that have impacted the care optometrists provide to their patients. As our treatments evolve and become more effective for Fuchs’ dystrophy and other forms of endothelial dysfunction, intervention often occurs much earlier in the disease process. For instance, we sometimes perform Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) for patients with 20/20 vision in a dark room assessed with our typical high contrast Snellen charts.
