In keratoconus (KC) disease, the collagen network structure in the eye is disrupted and shows
relaxation in a certain area. This area, which has relaxation with the effect of intraocular pressure, is
bombarded outwards, thus changes in the refractive power, visual quality and surface structure of
the cornea. In this study, an experimental system was established to map the elasticity of the entire
surface of the cornea, and software was prepared to receive and process the data. The developed
system can apply force at desired points on the entire surface with its electromechanical structure
and can measure the shape change. The results showed that; In the event that the experimental setup
developed within the scope of the study is developed and used especially in safe use, it is possible
to detect keratoconus disease at the initial stage with all surface scanning performed on the eye.
