Corneal Topography Eye Testing Melbourne
Corneal Topography Eye Testing Melbourne
Do you want the best care possible for your eyes? A topography eye test at Eye Lab Melbourne is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that allows optometrists to analyse the corneal surface of your eye for abnormalities or irregularities. Visit our boutique optometry clinic, in Melbourne’s west, for a thorough corneal topography test to ensure your eyes are at their healthy best.
A topography eye test maps the shape and curvature of the cornea — the transparent front part of the eye. It provides detailed information about the cornea’s surface, including its elevation, contours, and irregularities.
During an assessment, a topography device measures the reflection of light from the cornea to create a colour-coded map that shows variations in the cornea’s shape and curvature. This map helps identify conditions such as astigmatism, keratoconus, irregular corneal shape, corneal scars, and other corneal abnormalities.

FAQs
How Does a Corneal Topography Test Work?
Corneal topography testing uses a specialised device to create a colour-coded map of the cornea’s shape and curvature. During the test, you’ll look at a fixation target while the device projects light across your cornea, measuring its reflection. Data from the test will reveal irregularities, helping to diagnose conditions and optimise your vision.
How Long Does a Topography Eye Test Take?
A corneal topography eye test is quick and painless. It typically takes 5 to 10 minutes and is used to:
- Plan for surgery and evaluate surgical results.
- Diagnose and monitor corneal conditions.
- Fit contact lenses effectively.
How Much Does a Topography Eye Test Cost?
Bulk billing with Medicare applies to those with a valid concession card or who are under 16 years. Those services not covered by Medicare will be privately billed but will be discounted.
