Silmähuuhtelupisteet

Silmähuuhtelupisteet, also known as corneal points or corneal landmarks, are specific locations on the cornea that serve as reference points for various ophthalmic procedures and measurements. These points are crucial for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical interventions. The most commonly used silmähuuhtelupisteet include the limbus, the corneal apex, and the pupillary margin. The limbus is the junction between the cornea and the sclera, while the corneal apex is the thinnest point of the cornea. The pupillary margin is the edge of the pupil, which can be used to determine the corneal curvature and refractive error. These points are often used in procedures such as corneal topography, refractive surgery, and cataract surgery to ensure precision and effectiveness. Accurate identification and use of these landmarks are essential for optimal patient outcomes in ophthalmology.
