  1. About 8 mm
    The optical power of the human eye is about 60 D, of which the cornea provides 43 D. The base radius of curvature of the cornea is about 8 mm, and the overall length of the eye is about 25 mm.

    What is the apical radius of curvature of a cornea?
    The top row represents surface plots corresponding to steep corneas (apical radius of curvature = 5.75 mm) Q= -0.2 (left), Q= -0.4, Q= -0.6, and Q= -0.8 (right). The plots in rows 2-4 represent surface plots of flatter corneas. All surfaces are rotationally symmetrical.

    How is central corneal curvature measured?
    Central corneal curvature is measured by manual or automated keratometry with paired readings taken in two orthogonal meridia. Take the average of 3 pairs of readings including axes. Corneal power in dioptres (D) = 337.5/keratometry in mm, (where 337.5 is the hypothetical refractive index of the cornea).

    What is corneal curvature used for?
    Corneal curvature is usually used for IOL calculations and corneal refractive surgery. It is also helpful for contact lens fitting and detecting irregular astigmatism. A keratometer measures the size of an image reflected from 2 paracentral points on the cornea. Doubling prisms in the device stabilize the image to enable more accurate focusing.

    Does keratoconus affect posterior corneal curvature?
    In KC, the posterior corneal curvature is affected in addition to the anterior corneal surface 21 - 27. Moreover, early morphological changes in eyes with keratoconus may develop on the posterior surface 24.

    How does A keratometer measure corneal curvature?
    The keratometer is focused on the corneal image so that there is no doubling of the central corneal image. To assess the curvature in the horizontal meridian, the plus sign of the central and left image is superimposed, taking into account the horizontal measuring control.

      Keratometer or ophthalmometer is an instrument used to measure the anterior corneal curvature and the axis and extent of astigmatism.[1] The process of these measurements is called keratometry. Hermann von Helmholtz invented the first keratometer, and it came into vogue in 1851.[2] The earlier kerat...
