A method and system control the depth of corneal ablation during optical surgery by mapping the anterior and posterior surfaces of a patient's cornea to obtain full pachymetric topographical mapping of the patient's cornea. The patient's corneal pachymetric topographical mapping is used to identify a desirable corneal bed, and to guide a surgical laser in ablating a portion of the anterior surface of the patient's cornea to produce the desired corneal bed for appropriate vision correction.

The balancing and exercise device as defined in claim 6, wherein said each flexible hemisphere is made of rubber. 8. The balancing and exercise device as defined in claim 6, wherein said connecting members are male and female hook and loop fasteners. 9. The balancing and exercise device as defined in claim 6, wherein said flat circular surface has a circumference of approximately twelve inches on said each flexible hemisphere. 10. The balancing and exercise device as defined in claim 6, wherein said each flexible hemisphere is approximately two inches high from the tip of the hemisphere to the flat circular surface. 11. A balancing exercise device for an individual, comprising: a. a flexible solid hemisphere having a flat surface and a hemispherical surface and being made out flexible resilient material which will slightly compress when placed under pressure; and b. attachment means affixed on oppositely disposed sides of the hemispherical surface for holding a body part against said flat surface by said attachment means; c. whereby when the hemispherical surface is placed against an immovable object and the body part is pressed against the flat surface of the flexible hemisphere to which it is attached, constant variations of movement in any and all directions of the hemispherical surface puts different stretch on the tendons, muscles, ligaments and joints and thereby stimulates increase number of proprioceptors and nerve cells of the body part and further thereby creates more activation of the muscles and causes the body part to be exercised more completely and evenly. 12. The balancing and exercise device as defined in claim 11, wherein said flexible hemisphere is made of rubber. 13. A balancing exercise device for an individual, comprising: a. a pair of flexible solid hemispheres, each flexible hemisphere having a flat surface and a hemispherical surface and being made out flexible resilient material which will slightly compress when placed under pressure; and b. said each flexible hemisphere having respective attachment means respectively affixed on oppositely disposed sides of the hemispherical surface for holding a respective body part against said flat surface of a respective flexible hemisphere by said attachment means; c. whereby when said each hemispherical surface is respectively placed against an immovable object and each respective body part is respectively pressed against the flat surface of said each flexible hemisphere to which it is attached, constant variations of movement in any and all directions of the hemispherical surface puts different stretch on the tendons, muscles, ligaments and joints and thereby stimulates increase number of proprioceptors and nerve cells of the body parts and further thereby creates more activation of the muscles and causes the body parts to be exercised more completely and evenly. 14. The balancing and exercise device as defined in claim 13, wherein said each flexible hemisphere is made of rubber. 15. A balancing exercise device for an individual, comprising: a. a flexible
