Norwood Apollo Topographer plays a crucial role in identifying the root causes of dryness, such as meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) or tear film instability. By capturing high-resolution images and detailed data on the corneal surface, the device helps Dr Kyser detect subtle changes in the tear film and cornea that may contribute to dry eye symptoms.
This precise information allows for more tailored treatment plans, ensuring that therapies like intense pulsed light (IPL), low-level light therapy (LLLT), or specialized supplements are better targeted to the patient's specific condition. The Norwood Apollo Topographer also aids in monitoring treatment progress, allowing for adjustments as needed.
