Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to determine if corneal topography can be used to predict the fluorescein pattern of keratoconus lenses on the eye. A corneal topography image will be taken and the computer selected lens will be placed on the eye. After placement of the lens color photographs will be taken of the eye's fluorescein pattern and compared to the computer predicted pattern.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Subject population: keratoconus patients who have not undergone corneal surgery 100 subjects who come to UIHC for their contact lens care. We will approach them at their visit. We will not call potential participants from a database.

If topography is impossible to capture. Concommitant Corneal Disease Minors will be excluded

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Corneal Topographer Fluorescein Patterns

Use corneal topography to evaluate fluorescein pattern of rgp contact lens. Used corneal topography to develop theoretical fluorescein patters on a virtual eye. Theoretical lens developed by the topographer was ordered to compare to the actual fluorescein pattern on the actual eye.
