A practical implementation of the dynamic point shifting method as a corneal topographer is presented. A quadrangular OLED´s prism setup allows to change the target at will. This device has several advantages over the traditional commercial topographers using static target as those based in Placido disk. The target is displayed on the OLED screens as an image, by changing the image it is possible to change the spots position, but also, different targets can be used, for instance; B&W positive or negative, different colored targets, with square or radial arrays of spots, among other possibilities. Results of measurements obtained with calibration spheres as well as the first report of the qualitative evaluation of a corneal surface of a human volunteer using this device are presented.
