The testing, which is painless, is done to determine the strength of the IOL needed. The ophthalmologist measures the length of the patient's eyeball with ultrasound and the curvature of the cornea with a device called a keratometer.

What is flat and steep keratometry?

Flat and steep keratometry refer to the measurements of the curvature of the cornea, which is crucial in assessing corneal shape and diagnosing conditions like astigmatism. The flat keratometry measurement indicates the least curvature of the cornea, while the steep measurement represents the greatest curvature. These values help eye care professionals determine the appropriate contact lens fit, evaluate refractive surgery candidates, and monitor changes in corneal shape over time. Analyzing the difference between these two measurements aids in understanding the overall corneal topography.


How do you interprete a keratometry reading?

A keratometry reading measures the curvature of the cornea. It provides information about the cornea's shape and can be used to calculate the power of prescription lenses needed for conditions like astigmatism or to evaluate suitability for contact lenses or refractive surgery. A higher reading indicates a steeper cornea, while a lower reading indicates a flatter cornea.
