Keratometry Flashcards
Topography or Keratometry:
Measurements only at the center at the center of 3 mm
Keratometry
Topography or Keratometry:
Curvature and Optical Power only for two meridians
Keratometry
Topography or Keratometry:
Manual Alignment
Keratometry
Topography or Keratometry:
Provides a multitude of other data, such as contact lens fitting
Topography
Topography or Keratometry:
Applicable to any corneal abnormality
Topography
Topography or Keratometry:
Curvature & Optical Power on any meridian we select. Not limited to just two.
Topography
Topography or Keratometry:
Easy-to-use, requires just proper centration
Topography
Keratometry can monitor
changes in corneal surface
Keratometry is indispensable in
planning and follow-up in laser-vision correction
Keratometry helps in
selecting a contact lens
Keratometry is still subject to
tear film stability
This is a diagnostic tool for
corneal abnormalities
Diagnostic tool for the a
high-precision measurement of the distribution of conreal curvature
Keratometry (Topographers) may expose meridians that
may be different in different optical zones
Sparser Mires indicate:
Larger magnification Reduced curvature (flatter)
