Abstract
Provided is an operative keratometer consisting of a built-in bright LED ring light, which uniquely provides immediate direct preoperative confirmation to the ophthalmologist of the proper meridian for astigmatic cuts and the most advantageous location of cataract incisions to minimize postoperative astigmatism. Also provided are methods for using the operative keratometer device to facilitate evaluation of the amount and direction of astigmatism in a patient. Further provided is a movable fixation/centration device and methods for its use to focus the operative keratometer, particularly for treating astigmatism, permitting the ophthalmologist to qualitatively assess both the amount and direction of the astigmatism; to more accurately conduct surgery near the pupil by providing a patient fixation point that permits the ophthalmologist to more precisely control movement of the patient's eye during an ophthalmic procedure; and to provide monocular centration of the patient's eye.
