Keratometer Market Attractive Market Opportunities In 2018 - 2026
Keratometer is a device that is used to measures the curvature of the antecedent corneal surface of the eye. The curvature of the cornea is measured when there is some vision problem. It is also termed as ophthalmometer. Keratometer has gained essential importance in evaluation of the keratoconus patients, contact lens fitting and in the resolving of the intraocular lens implant power for patients with cataract surgery. The keratometer device gives two corneal curvature values (minimum and maximum) that are 90 degrees apart. The Keratometers market tracks the size of an image that is reflected from the two-paracentral points on the cornea. The instrument consists of doubling prisms for the stabilization of an image thus offering accurate focusing. The antecedent corneal curvature is gained with the help of convex mirror formula and the corneal power is determined analytically using the Snell’s law of refraction with the simplified optics.
