What is the significance of keratometry?
Keratometry is the measurement of the central anterior curvature of the cornea. It is valuable in eye examinations, particularly for detecting and measuring corneal astigmatism. The keratometer consists essentially of a target that is imaged by the cornea and telescoped to observe this image.
