Optimized Retinoscope Design vs. Advanced Ophthalmoscope Optical Layout: Key Differences and Benefits
Introduction In this article, we will explore the construction and optical layout of both the retinoscope and the ophthalmoscope, highlighting their unique designs and functionalities. Understanding these differences is crucial for professionals looking to select the most suitable tool for precise eye examinations. Whether you are focusing on the improved accuracy of a retinoscope or […]
Keratometer Optical Design
In this article, we will continue our description of different optical instruments used by optometrists. Last time we talked about Ophthalmoscopes, today we will talk about another very common optical instrument called the Keratometer. The keratometer was developed in 1851, it is used to measure the curvature of the anterior cornea. That is the outer […]
Non-Contact Tonometers
This will be the last entry in our series of optical instrumentation for optometry. If this is the first article that you are seeing, I would suggest that you take a look at our previous articles about Ophthalmoscope Design, Keratometer Design, and Retinoscopy. This week, we will talk about a very interesting optical device that […]
