Abstract

A unique computer program was developed to store and display corneal thickness data taken from a variable array of corneal positions. The program was designed to graphically display the relative corneal thickness profile along any meridian from limbus to limbus as well as a collective representation of the data in a three-dimensional wire grid format. In this paper, the computer program, its graphical output and utilities are described and discussed.
