The “KR-8000” is a specific model of ophthalmic equipment known as a combined Autorefractor Keratometer. This device is widely used in optometry and ophthalmology practices to accurately measure a patient’s refractive error (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism) and the curvature of the cornea.
The Autorefractor component of the KR-8000 provides an automated and objective measurement of the eye’s refractive error. By analyzing the way light enters and exits the eye, it determines the corrective prescription needed for optimal vision.
The Keratometer function of the KR-8000 focuses on measuring the curvature of the cornea, specifically the central corneal curvature (K-value). This information is crucial for contact lens fitting, diagnosing and monitoring conditions like keratoconus, and assessing the suitability of refractive surgeries.
By combining both autorefraction and keratometry in a single device, the KR-8000 streamlines the diagnostic process and provides eye care professionals with comprehensive insights into a patient’s visual needs. Its accuracy, efficiency, and ability to gather critical data make it an indispensable tool for ensuring accurate prescriptions, personalized treatments, and overall vision care.
