What is another word for keratoscopy?
Pronunciation: [kˌɛɹɐtˈɒskəpɪ] (IPA) 
Keratoscopy is a diagnostic examination of the cornea that determines the shape of the eye's surface. It is also known as corneal topography, videokeratography, or simply K-readings. Another clinical term used for keratoscopy is spherocylindrical mapping, which refers to the measurement of the curvature of the cornea to diagnose astigmatism. Keratoscopy plays a significant role in monitoring postoperative changes after corneal surgeries, such as LASIK, PRK, or intraocular lens implantation. Optical pachymetry, corneal tomography, and Placido-based systems are some of the modern techniques used for keratoscopy. Accurate keratoscopy measurements are crucial for selecting the correct contact lenses or designing customized corneal surfaces such as orthokeratology lenses.
