👉 Ophthalmometry is the measurement of the shape and size of the eye, including its curvature. It involves using a device called an eye chart or spectroscope to measure the distance between two points on the cornea (the clear layer that covers the surface of the eye) and the lens (the curved piece of glass that focuses light). This measurement helps doctors diagnose vision problems such as cataracts, glaucoma, and other eye conditions.
