Keratometer is the world wide standard for manual measurement of corneal curvatures.
Measures concave surfaces for contact lens fitting. Both major and minor meridians can be
measured once the major axis is located. Easy elevation and lowering allows quick patient
positioning. Other features include engraved focusing scale, coincidence focusing system,
single position measurement in both meridians.

0 A keratometer is a medical apparatus that eye-care professionals use to measure the reflection and curvature of the anterior surface of the cornea. One can also call the keratometer 'an ophthalmometer.' By virtue of the keratometer, an eye-doctor can assess the presence and extent of astigmatism. Astigmatism is a disorder of the eye in which the vision is blurred due to the unbalanced shape of cornea. Due to this, the cornea which is usually spherical becomes oblong in shape.
