Keratometry: Main Points so Far ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

OBJECTIVE h  ½ h C MIRE F CORNEA ½ h PRISM (P  ) IMAGE PLANE Fig 13.17, Page 13.18 Moving prism toward image plane decreases image displacement ( x ) Previously doubled images are no longer doubled (now overlap) What new corneal radius would this prism position “suit”? What happens if we move the prism?  x h  < h  P

Q1: Based on the previous figure, how could the keratometer prism be used to yield a measure of anterior cornea radius? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Topcon Keratometer What the Clinician Sees V 90 / H 180

B & L: Oriented to Measure r 90 and r 18 0 Question: If most corneas are aspheric, what is one drawback with a keratometer? Answer: only measuring radius at one location (annulus) on cornea; and it is NOT central radius OBJ h' 90 Corneal vertex h' 180

Q2: What does this appearance indicate? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Basis of Corneal Power Estimate - Exact Eye r 1 = +7.7 mm n aqueous 1.336 n air 1.000 r 2 = +6.8 mm F e (cornea) +43.05 D F 1 = +48.83 D F 2 =  5.88 D Page 13.23 n cornea 1.376

Basis of Corneal Power Estimate - Modified Exact Eye r 1 = +7.7 mm n aqueous 1.336 n air 1.000 Based on Keratometry  want anterior surface only n cornea 1.376 r 2 = +6.8 mm F e (cornea) +43.05 D F 1 = +48.83 D F 2 =  5.88 D

Basis of Corneal Power Estimate - Modified Exact Eye r 1 = +7.7 mm n aqueous 1.336 n air 1.000 Keep true anterior corneal radius - this is what keratometry measures Want single surface cornea to give same +43.05 D as the Exact Eye cornea Using n  = 1.3315, the +7.7 mm Exact Eye anterior corneal radius yields correct total corneal power +43.05 D Why is new n  < 1.336? Only option is to change n aqueous
