Cone System
The Cone System is a method in ophthalmology used to classify the shape of the cornea, which can influence vision quality. It involves taking detailed measurements of the cornea's thickness and curvature to identify patterns. These patterns resemble cones, with variations indicating different types and severities of conditions like keratoconus. By analyzing these patterns, eye care professionals can better understand the cornea's structure, plan treatments, and monitor progression over time. Overall, the Cone System provides a clear framework for diagnosing and managing corneal irregularities with precision.
