  • Topographie cornéenne

    • 2nd Edition
    • Damien Gatinel
    • French
    La topographie cornéenne permet de recueillir des informations relatives à la courbure, à la régularité et à l'épaisseur de la cornée, grâce à la projection et à l'analyse du reflet d'un motif lumineux éclairant ou balayant la cornée. La représentation graphique de ces informations se traduit sous forme de cartes interprétées par le praticien. Cette technique de mesure permet d'étudier en détail la géométrie de la cornée et d'apprécier l'effet de certaines pathologies sur le relief cornéen. Examen indispensable avant toute chirurgie réfractive, la topographie cornéenne complète utilement le bilan préopératoire en chirurgie de la cataracte et du segment antérieur de l'œil. Cet ouvrage décrit les techniques de mesure topographique (terminologie, principes optiques, instruments, bases physiques) et propose une analyse des cartes obtenues pour une interprétation en pratique. L'iconographie de cette nouvelle édition a été actualisée et de nombreux points ont été ajoutés ou développés, notamment : - le dépistage topographique des formes infracliniques débutantes de kératocône : revue des nouveaux indices de détection automatisée ; - les applications de la topographie cornéenne en chirurgie de la cataracte : estimation de la puissance optique de la cornée pour la biométrie et le calcul d'implant, étude de l'astigmatisme cornéen, bilan avant implantation multifocale ; - l'étude de la qualité optique de la cornée : analyses topographiques et fonctionnelles de cornées asymétriques et irrégulières; - l'étude approfondie des axes et angles oculaires. Cet ouvrage répond à l'essentiel des situations cliniques et constitue un outil indispensable à l'attention des ophtalmologistes, des orthoptistes et des opticiens.
