OPHTHALMOMETER MEASURING TECHNIQUE

Aligning the Instrument

The patient's eye level should be at the 
level with the pointer on the side of the 
instrument. To do this the instrument is 
moved to one side by using the joystick 
so the examiner can sight along side the 
instrument, aligning the pointer with the 
center of the patient's eye.  See next 
screen to adjust height.  Be sure to 
loosen the base lock to allow the 
intrument to be moved.
