Photokeratography

Photokeratography is a method for diagnosing eye diseases, based on the analysis of images of the cornea obtained using a special device - a photokeratograph. This method allows you to quickly and accurately determine the condition of the cornea and identify various eye diseases, such as keratoconus, keratitis, cataracts and others.

A photokeratograph is a device that creates an image of the patient's cornea and transmits it to a computer. The computer processes the image and analyzes it, determining various parameters of the cornea - its shape, curvature, thickness, etc. This data helps the doctor make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe the necessary treatment.

Advantages of photokeratography:

1. Speed ​​and accuracy of diagnosis. A photokeratograph allows you to obtain an image of the cornea in just a few seconds, which significantly speeds up the diagnostic process and avoids errors.
2. High information content. Photokeratography allows you to determine not only the condition of the cornea, but also its optical properties, which allows you to more accurately make a diagnosis.
3. Safety. Photokeratography does not require the use of invasive methods such as corneal probing, which makes it safer for the patient.
4. Reusable. Photokeratographs can be used repeatedly, which saves time and money on diagnostics.
5. Versatility. Photokeratography can be used to diagnose various eye diseases, including glaucoma, cataracts, keratoconus and others.
