Abstract:
We investigated the accuracy of a conventional videokeratography instrument (Corneal Analysis System, EyeSys Laboratories) to measure contour information using specialized software developed by the manufacturer. Seven calibrated spheres were measured and the results tabulated. A contour resolution for all spheres for all reflected rings was found to be +/- 0.0047 mm, representing a 95% confidence interval. This level of resolution is high enough to obtain clinical value from using the EyeSys instrument as a contour measuring device.
