KERATOMETER READINGS
The keratometer readings (central corneal curvature) are important to determine:
-the amount of corneal toricity
-if a rigid lens will correct the astigmatic
error or if there will be any residual
astigmatism.
-the base curve of the first diagnostic
lens (especially rigid lenses)
-if there is any induced change in
the corneal curvature due to the
wearing of the contact lenses (for
comparison at later visits)
