Optical projection mires for measurements of the radii of curvature of the cornea in biomicroscopes

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Keratometry is currently achieved by projecting a circular mire onto the patient's cornea and analyzing the size and shape of its reflected image. The projection mires are decisive for the precision of the measurement. We have previously developed a keratometric module for slit lamps, and the development of four projection mires are presented. Mire 1 is composed of optical fibers and electrical cables; Mire 2, 48 LEDs; Mire 3, optical fibers and no electrical cables; and Mire 4, mechanical parts—cable free. Mires 2–4 provide accurate keratometry measurements at slit lamps. Mire 4 is the most adequate for the clinical environment.
