Pachymetry and Corneal Topography at Kataria Eye & ENT Hospital, Jalandhar
At Kataria Eye & ENT Hospital, we offer advanced diagnostic services such as Pachymetry and Corneal Topography to provide a detailed assessment of your eye health. These non-invasive tests are critical for diagnosing and managing various corneal conditions, allowing us to create personalized treatment plans for our patients in Jalandhar and beyond.
What is Pachymetry?
Pachymetry is a quick and painless test used to measure the thickness of the cornea—the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye. Corneal thickness is an important factor in diagnosing and treating various eye conditions, including glaucoma and corneal diseases. This measurement also plays a crucial role in determining a patient’s eligibility for LASIK or other refractive surgeries.
When is Pachymetry recommended?
- To assess corneal health before and after refractive surgeries like LASIK
- As part of a glaucoma evaluation, since corneal thickness can affect eye pressure readings
- To monitor conditions like keratoconus, a disease that causes the cornea to thin and change shape
Benefits of Pachymetry:
- Provides essential data for diagnosing and managing eye conditions
- Helps in planning and evaluating LASIK surgery
- Accurate monitoring of corneal changes in diseases like keratoconus
What is Corneal Topography?
Corneal Topography is a specialized, non-invasive imaging technique that creates a detailed, 3D map of the cornea’s surface. This test helps detect abnormalities in the cornea’s curvature and shape, which can impact vision quality. Corneal topography is especially useful in diagnosing and managing conditions like astigmatism, keratoconus, and corneal scarring. It is also vital for planning contact lens fittings and refractive surgeries.
When is Corneal Topography recommended?
- For diagnosing conditions like keratoconus, which alters the shape of the cornea
- As part of a preoperative assessment for LASIK, PRK, or other refractive surgeries
- To evaluate corneal injuries or scarring
- For precise contact lens fittings, especially for patients with irregular corneal shapes
Benefits of Corneal Topography:
- Provides a detailed map of the cornea for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning
- Essential for planning and assessing the outcomes of refractive surgeries
- Helps in identifying early signs of corneal diseases like keratoconus
- Improves the fitting and comfort of specialized contact lenses
Why Are These Tests Important?
Both Pachymetry and Corneal Topography are critical tools for assessing the health of your cornea and ensuring the best possible outcomes for treatments like LASIK and contact lens fitting. They allow our specialists at Kataria Eye & ENT Hospital to detect early signs of corneal diseases, evaluate the progression of existing conditions, and make informed decisions about surgical interventions.
