Article Description

Corneal diseases include a wide spectrum of different manifestations (inflammatory/noninflammatory) that need to be accurately classified for precise diagnosis and targeted treatment. In addition to the anamnesis and slit lamp biomicroscopy, further device-based examinations can be performed to narrow down the diagnosis. Nowadays, modern corneal imaging provides a variety of technologies, such as topography, tomography, in vivo confocal microscopy and analysis of biomechanics, which are able to reliably classify different pathologies. Knowledge of the available examination modalities helps to guide differential diagnostic considerations, facilitating the indication for stage-appropriate microsurgical intervention.
