Eye Caliper

Eye calipers are a type of measuring instrument used in ophthalmology to measure the distance between various points on the eye. They are specifically designed to measure the dimensions of the eye, such as the corneal diameter, the distance between the pupils, or the distance between the limbus and the cornea.

Eye calipers typically consist of two arms with pointed ends that can be adjusted to the desired distance. The arms are made of a lightweight and durable material, such as stainless steel, to ensure accuracy and longevity. The calipers may also have a scale or markings along the arms to provide precise measurements.

These instruments are commonly used by ophthalmologists, optometrists, and other eye care professionals during eye examinations, surgeries, and fitting of contact lenses. They help in determining the appropriate size of intraocular lenses, assessing the symmetry of the eyes, and evaluating the overall eye health.

Eye calipers are an essential tool in ophthalmic practice as they aid in accurate measurements, which are crucial for proper diagnosis, treatment, and management of various eye conditions.
