My dear Father Mohamad (may God rest his soul),
who implanted in my soul the love of excellence
I will mention his name with my name all my life
My Mother Almasah (may God rest her soul),
who implanted in my heart the love of the poor and helping others
My Wife Ruba (may God save her),
For the unwavering support that was critical for all my success
Mazen Mohamad Sinjab
Man is born and has been granted “The Life”
To live is an only one chance that cannot be repeated
We have been created without our choice,
and we are going to die without our choice as well,
but to make our life is our choice
Success does not need to be created, it just needs to be made
Making success needs five tools, sincerity, honest, humility, persistence and patience
But, to deliver success to others, an additional tool is essential; it is loving others
“Make your success and deliver it to others; life is very short”
Mazen Mohamad Sinjab
Preface to the Fourth Edition
Since launching the 3rd edition, new concepts and applications of corneal tomography have risen. That made it necessary to write the 4th edition to stay up-to-date and allow the readers to catch up with the latest technology.
Why this edition? Because it helps better understanding of concepts and adds new applications of topography, tomography, and aberrometry in refractive surgery, cataract surgery, and keratoconus management.
This edition has two new chapters. It is divided into seven sections and 26 chapters, discussing in detail the basics and principles, guidelines of screening and validating the data, maps and profiles, wavefront analysis, factors of false findings, ectatic corneal diseases, and much more.
As always committed to simplifying the information and consolidating the concepts in a systematic step-by-step method, I keep on creating new methods to present the best for my readers.
Mazen M Sinjab
Preface to the First Edition
Taking the right decision in laser refractive surgery depends to a great extent on good reading of corneal topography and its clinical interpretation. This is very important for having the aimed results and avoiding postoperative complications.
The data in this book were obtained and gathered from the user manual of the Pentacam, international conferences, refractive journals, personal contacts with many refractive professors and of course self-experience.
The strategy in compiling this little book is combining excellence in pictorial quality with a concise but ordered text.
I have aimed the book at all those who need some initial assistance in reading and clinical interpretation of corneal topography. As the ophthalmology editor, I take full responsibility for any error and look forward to being further educated.
