This extremely cool device is a tool we use to measure the curve of the clear front part of your eye, called the cornea. Think of it like using a super-precise ruler for your eye’s surface.
We use this measurement to:
- Help fit you for contact lenses so they sit comfortably and give you clear vision.
- Check for certain eye conditions, like astigmatism or corneal diseases.
- Monitor changes in your cornea over time.
It’s quick, painless, and you simply look into the machine while it takes the reading — no touching, no drops, just a few seconds, and it’s done!
