Fig. 7. Five qualitative patterns of normal corneal topography using a normalized scale. Top left, round; top center, oval; top right, symmetric bow-tie; bottom left, = asymmetric bow tie; bottom center, irregular. In the normalized scale (bottom right) the range of dioptric power represented by each color varies among eyes, depending on the degree of corneal asphericity.
