About This Product
A keratometer measures the curvature of the front surface of the cornea. The examiner focuses on a target image reflected from the cornea, and the readings in the two principal meridians show whether the cornea is evenly curved or astigmatic. The values are used in contact lens fitting and in optometry teaching. Students learn to position the patient, focus the image and read the scale for the major and minor meridians.
