In ophthalmology, advances in imaging have revolutionized the field both diagnostically and therapeutically. The development of these novel tech­niques has significantly improved our understanding of ocular anatomy and the application of this latest technology has availed millions of patients with vision-saving treatments that were unheard of just a few decades ago.

Corneal Topography and Tomography

Corneal topography is an imaging modality that uses multiple concentric rings of a Placido disk reflected onto the surface of the cornea. In areas where the contour of the cornea is steeper, the reflected rings are close

tic uses.
In corneal ectatic disorders, such as keratoconus and pellucid marginal degeneration, the cornea loses its normal curvature and becomes steeper and thinner. Corneal topography can be used to make the diagno­sis, monitor progression, and evaluate the need for therapeutic hard contact lenses. Refractive eye surgery, such as LASIK and photorefractive kera­tectomy (PRK), are commonly performed eye operations to decrease the dependency on eyeglasses or contact lenses. Subtle forms of keratoconus that cannot be seen clinically can be an absolute contraindication to the surgeries, and corneal topography is an integral part in the screening of these patients. Corneal topography also can be used in planning for and managing astigmatism in cataract surgery, especially in patients who have previously had refractive surgery. In addition, it is helpful in the detection of irregular astigmatism after corneal transplantation.
Topographic assessment is limited to the anterior corneal surface, but tomography creates a three-dimensional image of the cornea that measures posterior corneal curvature and cornealthickness. Slit scanningtomography projects a series of slit beams onto the cornea and measures light scatter

from both the anterior and posterior surfaces.2These devices can image other parts of the anterior segment, including the lens.

Ultrasound Biomicroscopy

Ultrasound biomicros copy (UBM) images the eye using high-frequency ultrasound waves emitted by a contact probe directly on the ocular surface. Its signal is significantly attenuated by the vitreous, so its use is limited to the anterior segment. Commercially available devices have a 50 µm lateral resolution, 25 µm axial resolution, and a depth of penetration of 5.0 mm.
UBM is useful in imaging the anterior chamber angle structures, such as the iris, ciliary processes, and ciliary body. These structures produce aqueous humor and control the ability of the lens to accommodate, thereby changing the focusing ability of the eye. UBM is a useful tool in the evalua­tion of cysts (Figure 2) and tumors of the ciliary body, such as melanomas, found in these anatomical locations. Ultrasoundbiomicroscopy is also help­ful in the evaluation of angle recession, an anterior chamber abnormality

that predisposes to glaucoma, particularly seen following ocular trauma, because of its ability to scan through opaque corneas and total hyphemas (blood in the anterior chamber).
UBM has several disadvantagescompared to anterior segmentOptical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

(see the following). It requires a skilled operator and is more time consuming, and images are less precise. As a result, its role in visualizing structures anterior to the iris has decreased with the development of OCT (see the following).

Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography

OCT allows for two-dimensional, cross-sectional images of ocular struc­tures. Its predominant use in ophthalmology is the posterior segment, but it has also achieved utility in imaging the tear film, cornea, anterior segment, and iris. Unlike UBM, it does not require a contact probe and images are technically easier to obtain.
Anterior segment OCT has enormous applications in the evaluation of the angle structures in the anterior segment of the eye. particular clinical significance in conditions causing crowding of the angle, predisposing patients to narrow angle and angle closure glaucoma. Because of the extremely high resolution of the images obtained, anterior segment OCT can be used for very precise measurements of the angle between the posterior corneal surface and iris plane. It can also be used to measure the anterior chamber depth and thickness of the cornea. This technology has revolutionized our ability to perform corneal refractive surgery such as LASIK. Anterior segment OCT can also be used to diagnose complications in refractivesurgery postoperatively, particularly involving the LASIK flap. In addition, it has also helped with the pre and postoperative management of the newer layer-specific corneal transplant surgeries such as Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty(DSAEK), Descemet Mem­brane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) (Figure 3), and Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK), looking specifically for detachments of these grafts which might otherwise be very difficult to see clinically. For DMEK specifically, a newer intraoperative OCT can be very helpful “real

Other applications include evaluation of contact lens fit,

Confocal Microscopy

Confocal microscopy produces high-resolution in vivo images of the corneal layers and histological structures, such as nerves, epithelial and endothelial cells, and keratocytes without requiring fixation or staining (Figure 4). The microscope involves imaging single points of the tissue with a point source of light and a camera in the same plane at the same time. The microscope unit is expensive, and obtaining and interpreting images require a moderate amount of training.
One of the most exciting clinical applications in ophthalmology is diagnosing certain corneal infections, such as Acanthamoeba kerati­tis. Acanthamoeba is a protozoa that can cause catastrophic infections, typically, but not exclusively, seen in a contact lens wearer exposed to fresh water. This organism is difficult to grow in cultures, and often the diagnosis is not made until late in the disease course. Confocal microscopy

has been used to identify Acanthamoeba cysts in cases of this infection. The organisms are highly reflective, ovoid in shape, and seen in the epithelium and anterior stroma. Although diagnostic utility in other causes of infec­tious keratitis has been studied, the role of confocal in these diseases is less clear.
Confocal microscopy has been used to investigate many other dis­ease processes, including corneal dystrophies, corneal deposits, contact lens changes, and ocular surface disease. In the latter, confocal microscopy studies have shown corneal nerves to be decreased in patients with dry eye disease, and corneal nerve fiber lengths have predicted a response to treatment.

Although there has been exciting work using the confocal microscope to identify corneal pathology, further study is needed to translate these findings into therapeutic uses.

Specular Microscopy

The inner-most layer of the cornea is comprised of a single layer of endothelial cells laid out in a hexagonal mosaic configuration. The cells are most important and act as a pump to keep the cornea in a state of relative dehydration. At birth, we have approximately 3,000–4,000 cells/mm their density declines with age to an average of 1,500–3,500 cells/mm in adults. Our bodies do not have the capacity to regenerate new cells.

Decreased cell density (fewer than 1,000 cell/mm2) portends a higher risk of corneal decompensation, particularly following intraocular surgery.
Specular microscopy is a technique in which the innermost layer of cells on the cornea can be imaged (Figure 5). With this technology, light is reflected from an optical interface between the corneal endothelium and the aqueous humor allowing imaging of the normally hexagonal corneal endothelial cells. This technique allows for assessment of the density of cells, as well as morphologic variability and percentage of hexagonal cells.
Specular microscopy is also used postmortem to evaluate the health of the endothelium of donated corneas to screen for suitability for corneal transplants.
