To develop an automated classification system for normal and abnormal corneal topography based on data obtained from the Pentacam, which can be used for the following purposes: 1. To investigate the variability of corneal topography. 2. To automatically detect pathological corneas such as keratoconus, high astigmatism, post‐refractive surgery and early onset of edema or corneal dystrophies (e.g. Fuchs dystrophy) before it is visible with the slit‐lamp. 3. To create an add‐on program to the Pentacam software that gives a warning message with a probability of belonging to a disease group when a new patient is measured.
