Additional Information for Keratoscope
A keratoscope is a medical instrument used to measure the curvature of the cornea, which is the clear, front surface of the eye. It is commonly used in ophthalmology to assess the shape and condition of the cornea, particularly in cases of corneal irregularities or diseases such as keratoconus.
The keratoscope typically consists of a light source, a series of concentric rings or mires, and a viewing system. The rings or mires are reflected off the cornea, and the resulting pattern is observed and analyzed to determine the corneal curvature. This information is important for diagnosing and monitoring various eye conditions, as well as for fitting contact lenses and planning refractive surgeries.
In the supply class Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies, the keratoscope falls under the broader category of ophthalmic instruments and equipment. It is used by ophthalmologists, optometrists, and other eye care professionals to evaluate and manage corneal conditions.
