During an eye exam, a medical tool called an ophthalmometer, also referred to as a keratometer, is frequently used to gauge the cornea’s curvature.
The measurements can be used to determine whether or not astigmatism, a vision issue that is typically brought on by an irregular cornea, is present and to what extent.
The cornea is the clear front section of the eye that covers the iris and pupil. This tool is also employed in the process of fitting contact lenses and in the observation of changes to the cornea brought on by contact lens use.
In order to make exact incisions in the cornea during eye surgery, ophthalmometers can also be employed. An optometrist or ophthalmologist will typically do an ophthalmometer eye test in-office; the procedure is non-invasive and doesn’t involve touching the patient’s eyes in any way.
The Greek word for eye, ophthalmos, is where the name “ophthalmometer” originates. The science of the eyes, ophthalmology, is concerned with the anatomy, physiology, and illnesses of the eye, such as astigmatism.
The most common cause of astigmatism is an abnormal or malformed cornea. This flaw results in a refraction error that blurs vision and makes it difficult to see fine details. Rarely, the lens behind the cornea can be misshaped to cause astigmatism.
The global ophthalmometer market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Ophthalmometers and keratometry were created. In keratometry, measurements are made at a set chord length between 2 and 3 mm, which is located in the cornea’s spherical zone.
The foundation of keratometry is the idea that the anterior corneal surface functions like a mirror and that the size of the image varies with corneal curvature.
Therefore, using the image size from the anterior corneal surface, the radius of curvature of the cornea may be determined.
In a keratometry, the distance between the surface and the object and the relationship between the object, image, and refractive surface radius are expressed by the formula r = 2ul/o, where r is the radius of the reflective surface and o is the size of the object.
