Ophthalmic instruments - Corneal topographers (ISO 19980:2005)

ISO 19980:2005 is applicable to instruments, systems and methods that are intended to measure the surface shape of the cornea of the human eye.
It is not applicable to ophthalmic instruments classified as ophthalmometers.
ISO 19980:2005 defines certain terms that are specific to the characterization of the corneal shape so that they may be standardized throughout the field of vision care and have common meaning for all those who have occasion to participate in this area.
ISO 19980:2005 specifies minimum requirements for instruments and systems that fall into the class of corneal topographers. It specifies tests and procedures that will verify that a system or instrument complies with the standard and so qualifies as a corneal topographer in the meaning of this International Standard. It specifies certain tests and procedures that will allow the verification of capabilities of systems that are beyond the minimum required for corneal topographers.

Ophthalmische Instrumente - Hornhauttopographen (ISO 19980:2005)

Diese Internationale Norm gilt für Instrumente, Systeme und Methoden, deren Zweck in der Vermessung der Oberflächenform der Hornhaut eines menschlichen Auges liegt.
ANMERKUNG   Diese Messungen sind Messungen der Oberflächenkrümmung in bestimmten Bereichen, dreidimensionale topographische Messungen der Oberfläche oder andere globale Parameter, die eine Oberfläche charakterisieren.
Sie gilt nicht für ophthalmische Instrumente, welche in die Klasse der Ophthalmometer fallen.
Diese Internationale Norm legt bestimmte Begriffe fest, die im Zusammenhang mit der Charakterisierung der Hornhautoberfläche eine spezielle Bedeutung haben und für die daher eine einheitliche Festlegung für das gesamte Gebiet der Augenheilkunde und alle mit der Materie befassten Personen naheliegend ist.
Diese Internationale Norm legt die Mindestanforderungen an Instrumente und Systeme, die in die Klasse der Hornhauttopographen fallen, fest. Sie definiert Prüfungen und Verfahren, die belegen, dass ein System oder Instrument der Norm entspricht und so als Hornhauttopograph im Sinne der vorliegenden Internationalen Norm gilt. Sie legt weiterhin Prüfungen und Verfahren fest, die die Überprüfung der Technik von Systemen erlauben, die über den Mindestanforderungen für Hornhauttopographen liegen.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 19980 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and photonics, Subcommittee SC 7,

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 19980:2005(E)

Ophthalmic instruments — Corneal topographers
1 Scope
This International Standard is applicable to instruments, systems and methods that are intended to measure
the surface shape of the cornea of the human eye.
NOTE The measurements can be of the curvature of the surface in local areas, three-dimensional topographical
measurements of the surface or other more global parameters used to characterize the surface.
It is not applicable to ophthalmic instruments classified as ophthalmometers.
This International Standard defines certain terms that are specific to the characterization of the corneal shape
so that they may be standardized throughout the field of vision care and have common meaning for all those
who have occasion to participate in this area.
This International Standard specifies minimum requirements for instruments and systems that fall into the
class of corneal topographers. It specifies tests and procedures that will verify that a system or instrument
complies with the standard and so qualifies as a corneal topographer in the meaning of this International
Standard. It specifies certain tests and procedures that will allow the verification of capabilities of systems that
are beyond the minimum required for corneal topographers.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
corneal apex
location on the corneal surface, where the mean of the local principal curvature is greatest
3.2
corneal eccentricity
e
eccentricity e (3.9) of the conic section which best fits the corneal meridian of interest
NOTE If the meridian is not specified, the corneal eccentricity is that of the flattest corneal meridian (see Table 1 and
Annex A).
ISO 19980:2005(E)
3.3
corneal meridian
θ
curve created by the intersection of corneal surface and a plane which contains the corneal topographer (CT)
axis
NOTE 1 A meridian is identified by the angle, θ, that the plane creating it makes to the horizontal as described by
ISO 8429.
NOTE 2 The value of θ, for a full meridian, takes values from 0° to 180°.
3.3.1
corneal semi-meridian
portion of a full meridian extending from the CT axis toward the periphery in one direction
NOTE The value of θ for a semi-meridian takes values from 0° to 360°.
3.4
corneal shape factor
E
value which specifies the asphericity and type (prolate or oblate) of conic section which best fits a corneal
meridian
NOTE 1 Unless otherwise specified, it refers to the meridian with least curvature (flattest meridian) (see Table 1 and
Annex A).
NOTE 2 Although the magnitude of E is that of the square of the eccentricity and so must always be positive definite,
the sign of E is a convention to signify if an ellipse takes a prolate or oblate orientation.
NOTE 3 The negative value of E is defined by ISO 10110-12 as the conic constant designated by the symbol K. The
negative value of E has also been called asphericity and given the symbol Q.

See 3.15.
b
The eccentricity e does not distinguish between prolate and oblate orientations of an
ellipse (see 3.9 and Annex A).

3.5
corneal topographer
instrument or system which measures the shape of corneal surface in a non-contact manner
NOTE A corneal topographer which uses a video camera system and video image processing to measure the
corneal surface by analysing the reflected image created by the corneal surface of a luminous target is also referred to as
a videokeratograph.
3.5.1
optical-sectioning corneal topographer
