Product Description
Keratometer
Keratometer is the world wide standard for manual measurement of corneal curvatures. Measures concave surfaces for contact lens fitting. Both major and minor meridians can be measured once the major axis is located. Easy elevation and lowering allows quick patient positioning. Other features include engraved focusing scale, coincidence focusing system, and single position measurement in both meridians.

FAQ's of Keratometer Instrument:
Q: How is the Keratometer Instrument used in hospitals?
A: The Keratometer Instrument is used by ophthalmologists to measure the curvature of the cornea. This measurement helps in diagnosing conditions like astigmatism and is essential before prescribing contact lenses or conducting refractive surgery.
Q: What benefits does the laser technology offer in this keratometer?
A: Laser technology enhances the precision and consistency of corneal measurements. This advanced feature reduces human error and helps deliver highly accurate diagnostic results, benefiting both patients and practitioners.
Q: When should the Keratometer Instrument be utilized?
A: The instrument should be used during preoperative evaluations, fitting of contact lenses, and routine ocular health checkups whenever detailed corneal curvature measurements are required.
Q: Where can the Keratometer Instrument be installed or used?
A: This device is primarily designed for use in hospital eye departments and ophthalmic clinics due to its size and specialized purpose. Its robust build also allows placement in dedicated eye care centers.
Q: What is the process for operating the manual keratome?
A: To operate, the practitioner positions the patient's eye before the instrument, adjusts the alignment, and uses manual controls to conduct and record corneal curvature readings. The process only takes a few minutes per patient.
Q: How does the stainless steel material benefit the device?
A: Stainless steel ensures the keratometer's longevity, resistance to corrosion, and ease of sterilization. This contributes to the device's reliability, especially with frequent use in clinical settings.
Q: Is the Keratometer Instrument available for distribution outside India?
A: Yes, as an exporter and supplier, we distribute the Keratometer Instrument internationally, ensuring that hospitals and clinics around the world have access to this essential ophthalmic tool.
