Abstract
A module for ophthalmological devices which enables ophthalmological devices to carry out keratometry and topography measurements of the eye. The proposed topography module is provided for ophthalmological devices with a distance-independent keratometer. The topography module, which is used to generate the luminous pattern, is arranged in a fixed or moveable manner in the beam path between the ophthalmological device and the eye. A control unit is provided to control the topography module for generating luminous patterns. The provided evaluation unit is also suitable to carry out keratometric as well as topographic evaluations of the reflection images of an eye, captured and transmitted by the detection unit. The invention enables ophthalmological devices, which are equipped with a distance-independent keratometer, to carry out additional topographical measurements on the eye.
