Mertz Keratoscopy Ring: Precision Angled Shaft for Ophthalmic Procedures

The Mertz keratoscopy ring is a specialized ophthalmic instrument designed for accurate corneal curvature measurement. Featuring a 35-degree angled shaft and a 5.0mm diameter round handle, this tool ensures optimal ergonomics and visibility during clinical examinations. The 7.5 cm (3-inch) length provides sufficient reach while maintaining control, making it ideal for hospital and ambulatory surgical center settings. Its robust construction supports repeated sterilization cycles without compromising structural integrity. This instrument facilitates precise keratometry readings, aiding in the diagnosis of astigmatism and other refractive errors. Clinicians appreciate its balanced weight and smooth operation, which reduce hand fatigue during extended procedures.

• Measuring corneal curvature to diagnose astigmatism and other refractive errors.
