EW REFRACTIVE 58 July 2018 using a completely different princi- ple because it has colored LEDs that are reflected off the anterior corneal surface, and it has seven white LEDs whose reflection off the posterior corneal surface can be detected to measure posterior corneal astigma- tism. As they continue to improve their software, I'm finding it to be an increasingly valuable way of mea- suring total corneal astigmatism," he said. Abnormal corneal topography If the corneal topography is ab- normal, Dr. Koch said to look for the cause. "If it appears to be an ocular surface issue, I will look for ocular pathology, such as epithe- lial basement membrane disease or Salzmann's nodular dystrophy. I may do a dry eye evaluation and treat the dry eye. If it's epithelial basement membrane disease or Salzmann's nodular dystrophy, and I think it will affect either the accuracy of the calculations or the quality of the vision postoperatively, I will treat that first by scraping it and letting the patient's eye heal for about 3 months. Then I will repeat the calculations," he said. "At that point topography again is import- ant because subtle irregularities can persist and need to be detected to assist in patient counseling and IOL selection." EW Editors' note: Dr. Dell has financial interests with Johnson & Johnson Vision (Santa Ana, California), Bausch + Lomb (Bridgewater, New Jersey), Presbyopia Therapies (Coronado, California), Ocular Therapeutix (Bed- ford, Massachusetts), Optical Express (Glasgow, U.K.), Tracey Technologies (Houston), Advanced Tear Diagnostics (Birmingham, Alabama), and Lume- nis (Yokneam, Israel). Dr. Koch has financial interests with Alcon (Fort Worth, Texas), Carl Zeiss Meditec, and Johnson & Johnson Vision. Contact information Dell: steven@dellmd.com Koch: dkoch@bcm.edu whether the patient has ocular surface disease irregularity-related topographical abnormalities. Then we're screening for pathology, like keratoconus, forme fruste keratoco- nus, pellucid marginal degeneration, or other things, that might influence our decision on whether the patient is a candidate for cataract surgery in the first place and if so, what type of implant he or she might eventually receive," he said. If a patient is found to have ocular surface disease, topography is used to follow the patient's progress. "That's one of the key factors in our determining whether a patient has reached an endpoint of sufficient improvement in their ocular surface disease to proceed with refractive cataract surgery," Dr. Dell said. He uses topography in conjunction with devices like the LENSTAR (Haag-Streit, Koniz, Switzerland) and the IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany) to verify and con- firm that he has achieved good read- ings on the patient's overall corneal power and corneal astigmatism. Dr. Dell screens for posterior corneal astigmatism using devices like the Pentacam (Oculus, Wet- zlar, Germany) in patients who are having laser refractive surgery or corneal refractive surgery. "We don't routinely image the posterior corneal curvature in our cataract patients because we haven't found it to be consistently helpful, so we use nomogram-based adjustments of our toric power calculations that have been described well, either in some of the modern IOL astigmatic toric calculators or nomogram ad- justments like that proposed by Dr. Koch and Li Wang, MD," he said. Lens calculations Dr. Koch is using corneal topog- raphy, in combination with other tools, to determine lens calculations. "We look at the anterior corneal astigmatism, and we look at the total corneal astigmatism with the Galilei [Ziemer, Port, Switzerland]. I am also using the Cassini [The Hague, the Netherlands] for my toric IOL calculations.
