Manual Keratometer

Manual keratometer (ophthalmometer) for measuring anterior corneal curvature, supporting contact-lens fitting and astigmatism assessment.

Type Manual keratometer
Measures Corneal curvature (K-readings)
Reading Optical alignment mires
Use Keratometry

Applications

  • Corneal curvature measurement
  • Contact-lens fitting
  • Corneal astigmatism assessment

The manual keratometer measures the curvature of the anterior cornea by aligning reflected mires, yielding K-readings for contact-lens fitting and astigmatism evaluation. A reliable optical instrument requiring no power.

What to check before ordering

  • Mounting. Confirm whether a stand or table is included, or whether it mounts to one you already have.
  • Illumination. Ask which light source is fitted and about spare bulbs.
  • Verification. Ask what check method is supplied so readings can be confirmed in service.
  • Table height. If it shares a table with other instruments, check the working height suits both.
