I have this degenerative disorder of the eye called "Keratoconus" (KC). The THE NATIONAL KERATOCONUS FOUNDATION (NKCF) sends excellent newsletters. I thought you folks would appreciate these eyeball topo maps:

(Image 1A shows topography that is both regular and symmetric. Image 1B is regular but not symmetric and image 1C is irregular.)

Neat maps and good luck with the condition. I hope they used a topo boot on the rod for those 😉

Thanks! I worried for several years that I might develop keratoconus, inherited from my mother, but I didn't. She ended up having cornea transplants which went really well.

When I saw the title I thought this thread was about barstool topos of the continental United States.
