Ophthalmometer

Ophthalmometers are instruments for measuring the curvature of the eye , with some devices using non-invasive, non-contact swept-source optical coherence tomography technology to acquire detailed measurements. These devices assist eye care professionals in determining the refractive and keratometric properties of the human eye to support the prescription of corrective eyeglasses and contact lenses , and in some cases perform calculations to determine appropriate intraocular lens power and type for implantation during intraocular lens placement .
