Given that most ophthalmic surgeons have at some time in their careers struggled with reading a corneal topography map and attempting to ascertain if it is normal or abnormal, this handy step by step guide to corneal topography is an excellent aide-memoire. The illustrious Agarwal family cover the common use of corneal topography - keratoconus detection - as well as more unique areas such as the extensive use of corneal topography for cataract surgery and phakonit, as well as posterior corneal topography, and aberropia. Going one step further than many other texts in the field, this impressive guide also presents splendid information on the use of topography for aberrometry-guided excimer laster applications. Making the difficult and often confusing mixture of art and science that is corneal topography seem more manageable in day-to-day practice, Step by Step Corneal Topography is undoubtedly requisite reading for all ophthalmologists.
