13、to address the expressed needs of thosemembers of the ophthalmic community who use corneal topography in clinical set-tings, those who manufacture corneal topographers and those who teach others re-garding the use of the information collected by corneal topographers. In particularthere continues to
14、be a need for standardization of the terms and definitions used inthe field, for standardization of the methods used for characterizing the performanceof these instruments and for standardization of displays of corneal topographical in-formation. The experts who worked together to create this standa
15、rd felt that at thistime there is not sufficient consensus within the ophthalmic community to set perfor-mance requirements for these instruments beyond those for minimum area mea-sured and measurement sample density. The standard continues to addressstandardization of the methods for testing these
16、instruments, for assessing their per-formance, and for reporting the results thus obtained. The number and type of test surfaces to be used has been changed to include onlytest surfaces for which the results can be verified. When these surfaces are tilted orrotated the expected surface measurements
17、are easy to predict. These surfaceswere considered to be adequate as minimum verification surfaces for corneal topog-raphers; if a corneal topography system can measure these surfaces well, it will be aclinically useful instrument. The method for standardization of color maps has beenchanged in an e
18、ffort to improve the users ability to discern just-noticeable-differenc-es in corneal topography. The user always has the option of using a scale with lessresolution but with greater range, as long as the scale recommended in this docu-ment is available to be used.This standard was created by a spec
19、ial working group created by the Z80 Subcom-mittee on Ophthalmic Instruments and included experts in the field of corneal topog-raphy from the clinical, manufacturing and academic areas of the ophthalmiccommunity. This standard contains four annexes. Annex A is informative and is not considered tobe
20、 part of this standard. Annexes B, C, and D are normative and are considered to bepart of this standard.Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome. Prior ro December31, 2008, any comments should be sent to the Optical Laboratories Association, P.O.Box 200, Merrifield, VA 22116-2000
