Unlocking the Advantages of Topography-Guided Treatments

Show Description +

Sherman W. Reeves, MD, MPH, identifies topography-guided ablation as the next big thing in refractive surgery. The main reason for his selection, he says, is because topography uses 22,000 data points to measure the cornea, including the peripheral cornea. In comparison, at most 1,000 data points from only the central cornea are taken during wavefront. In his talk, Dr. Reeves also reviews results of the FDA clinical trials on the three topography-guided platforms available in the United States.
