Figure 196: Topography of the central part of the cornea
Our recommendation was:
cataract surgery on the right eye;
deep lamellar keratoplasty for the left eye; and
toric IOL implantation in the left eye after suture removal.
This still left one question open regarding the right eye:
Which K reading should we use for the IOL calculation?
The Pentacam® gives us an actually measurement ot the central power of the cornea. We used 42.9
for both K1 and K2
(Figure 196)
. Postoperative refraction turned out at + 0.5 D of the intended
refraction.
Note:
The Pentacam® measures the power of the central cornea, whereas topographers have to
extrapolate the central power of the cornea because of the blind spot in the center where the
camera is located.
