Corneal imaging techniques are valuable tools for diagnosing and monitoring DED, as they can provide objective and quantitative information on the structure and function of the ocular surface and the tear film. This chapter will review the principles and applications of various corneal imaging. Corneal topography and tomography is most commonly used for the following purposes Refractive surgery: To screen candidates for normal corneal shape, patterns and ruling out suspicious or keratoconic patterns. According to the TFOS DEWS II, it is defined as a chronic multifactorial inflammatory disease characterized by a loss of tear film homeostasis and accompanied by ocular symptoms, tear film hyperosmolarity, ocular surface inflammation and. The TERA Dry Eye Imager is a multimodal platform purpose-built to detect, grade, and manage dry eye disease. Powered by robotic automation and high-resolution imaging, TERA standardizes capture, streamlines workflow, and delivers clear, actionable guidance for treatment and follow-up. Through precise corneal diagnostics and tear film analysis, it identifies underlying causes, aiding in the prevention and treatment of.
