Orbscan
The Orbscan IIz topographer analyses the physical shape and contours of your cornea and allows our surgeon to decide if it has a suitable shape and is healthy and thick enough for laser eye surgery. It is the only topographer currently available that measures the shape of both the front and back surface of the entire cornea and can therefore provide a complete picture of the dimensions of the cornea.
