Zusammenfassung:	Methods, apparatuses, and systems for monitoring health of corneal tissue are disclosed. The system includes a corneal measurement device configured to measure a first state of health indicator that is tissue opacity or density of a region of the corneal tissue during a first period of time and a second state of health indicator that is tissue opacity or density of the region during a second period of time after the first period of time. The system further includes a processing unit configured to receive the first and second state of health indicators from the corneal measurement device and generate a health map of the region based on the first and second state of health indicators, the health map indicative of a change between the first and second state of health indicators as measured from the first period of time to the second period of time in the region of the cornea.
