When used as a corneal topograph, situations that create mires jamming can
occur in human eyes in limited areas. This must be prevented by insuring a good
tearing and good image acquisitions (see in particular the chapters dedicated to the
eye acquisition and the last page of this manual), and eventually corrected by
properly using “Process Editing” functions. Therefore, you can either adjust mires
detection parameters or eventually discard artefacts . In any case, the user must
individually check that the mires reconstruction has been adequate before accepting
the topographic resulting data as valid.
The Keratron™ topographer does not perform diagnoses. . The operator should
not rely exclusively on parameters deriving from the instrument's measurement of the
curvature of the cornea, but use his/her own experience and qualifications to
correctly interpret the results.
In this manual the “.” (point) character has been adopted in place of the
“,”
(comma) character as the decimal separator to maintain coherence with the
software messages and figures which use the Anglo-Saxon convention.
