Keratometry in Laâyoune

Ophthalmologist

Keratometry measures the radius of curvature of the cornea and makes it possible to deduce a value for corneal astigmatism. In most normal corneas, keratometry is obtained with sufficient accuracy to adjust contact lenses or calculate the power of intraocular lenses (IOL). Likewise, keratometry is useful in detecting irregular astigmatism, when the keratometric images cannot overlap or form regular ovals.
