Abstract
A device and method for early detection of eye disease including a corneal topography device including a camera, such as a rotating Scheimpflug camera, configured to measure the elevation of a patient's two anterior corneas sequentially or simultaneously; a computer processor; and non-transitory computer readable media including computer readable instructions, which, when executed by the computer processor, causes the device to measure and store elevation data at a plurality of points on the patient's anterior corneal surfaces; organize the elevation data for each cornea into a two-dimensional matrix where the center of the cornea is in the center of the data frame, rotate the data for a first eye 180 degrees around the Y axis relative to a second eye, subtract data on each corresponding corneal point, and generate an elevation difference matrix showing the degree of symmetry or asymmetry between the patient's left and right eye corneal topography.
