Keratometry
OVERVIEW
Keratometry measures the corneal curvature. It is performed for similar reasons as topography, but rather than mapping the entire corneal surface, two curves are measured – the steepest and the flattest. These measurements give the doctor information about the cornea’s curvature, focusing power, and whether astigmatism is present.
