Computer-assisted videokeratography has emerged as a useful clinical and research tool. All of the currently available commercial units utilize a modified placido disk image and require a smooth reflective surface. The PAR Technology Corneal Topography System (PAR CTS) is a prototype of a new computer-assisted corneal imaging device. The system produces a true topographic map (elevation map) by analyzing a projected grid on the corneal surface, as opposed to a placido disk reflection, and utilizes the technique of raster photogrammetry to define elevation points on the corneal surface. Because the system defines elevation points, not curvature, mathematical modeling is easily accomplished. Current software displays include a true topographic map, a spherical subtraction map in both relative and absolute scales, and a meridian analysis that is adapted to display refractive photoablative surgery.
