Keratometer
The infrared Keratometer was developed by Prof. Frank Schaeffel at the University of Tübingen (Germany), and is being used by numerous labs world-wide. Based on the analysis of the reflection of IR LEDs on the corneal surface, the Keratometer automatically and conveniently measures the radius of the corneal curvature in alert small laboratory animals.

Description

Overview

The Keratometer is a practical, fast, automated, and objective instrument for measuring the radius of corneal curvature in small alert laboratory animals. The main field of application of this survey method is myopia research.
