Optical/electronic keratometer system produces contour map of corneal surface illuminated by infrared light pulses. Prevents operator error and eliminates need to apply fluorescent liquids to cornea. Keratometer provides both video display and numerical recording for corneal-transplant and radial-keratotomy surgery and for contact-lens fitting. Optical system of keratometer, circular grating pattern transmitted to corneal surface reflected onto identical circular grating on surface of fiber plate, producing Moire pattern. Data-analysis-and-display mode, laser light pulsed, and Moire pattern converted to digital information in frame grabber. Digital picture information sent to computer for processing and display.
