  • Keratometry is usually performed using manual and automatic keratometers.
  • Manual keratometers are characterized in that the observer must align two images in two specific directions that correspond to the two main axes of eye gaze. These images have specific characteristics to allow the observer to define precisely such axes.

  • pads are cylinders of a variable diameter, between approximately 12 and 16 mm, with a sufficient thickness for polishing in specific machines for handling and subsequent finishing, whose manufacture is standardized. Its usual purpose is its use to generate contact lenses that are very rigid, semi-rigid or hydrophilic, with different chemical compositions of the plastic material according to the end use and the needs of the eye to which they are intended.
