Corneal topographyCorneal topography, also known as photokeratoscopy or videokeratography, is a non-invasive medical imaging technique for mapping the anterior curvature of the cornea, the outer structure of the eye. Since the cornea is normally responsible for some 70% of the eye's refractive power, its topography is of critical importance in determining the quality of vision and corneal health.
RétinographeLe rétinographe est l’appellation française de la Fundus camera des Anglo-saxons ; cet appareil sert à photographier le fond d'œil, soit tout ce qui est visible en arrière de l'iris et du cristallin. On peut y observer la rétine, la papille optique, la macula, l'ensemble portant le nom de pôle postérieur. vignette|upright=2|Rétinographe non-mydriatique Le rétinographe est utilisé pour surveiller d'éventuelles modifications du fond d'œil, pour transmettre des images à un ophtalmologiste distant ou réaliser des assemblages couvrant une grande surface de la rétine.
Toric lensA toric lens is a lens with different optical power and focal length in two orientations perpendicular to each other. One of the lens surfaces is shaped like a "cap" from a torus (see figure at right), and the other one is usually spherical. Such a lens behaves like a combination of a spherical lens and a cylindrical lens. Toric lenses are used primarily in eyeglasses, contact lenses and intraocular lenses to correct astigmatism.
GonioscopyIn ophthalmology, gonioscopy is a routine procedure that measures the angle between the iris and the cornea (the iridocorneal angle), using a goniolens (also known as a gonioscope) together with a slit lamp or operating microscope. Its use is important in diagnosing and monitoring various eye conditions associated with glaucoma. The goniolens allows the clinician - usually an ophthalmologist or optometrist - to view the irideocorneal angle through a mirror or prism, without which the angle is masked by total internal reflection from the ocular tissue.
