Keratometer Market Scope
A Keratometer is a diagnostic instrument usually used by ophthalmologists for an eye examination, assessing the curvature of the anterior surface of the cornea. Moreover, it offers an accurate measurement of Corneal Radius Curvature and Curvature of Contact lens. Furthermore, Keratometry is crucial in the fitting of contact lenses, evaluating and following patients with keratoconus, and in the determination of appropriate intraocular lens implant power for patients undergoing cataract surgery.
